When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” – Viktor E. Frankl
I spotted this Peepal tree outside of a building in Bangalore. Though I have posted my Peepal trees on this blog, this one’s trunk was so unique that at first I kept watching. Then I shared my amusement with my MIL and quickly grabbed a shot before we got going.
Hope July has been well so far for you all.
Thursday Tree love is a photo feature hosted on this blog on every 2nd and 4th Thursday of a month. The next edition will go live on August 8, 2024. If you would like to play along, post a picture of a tree on your blog, tell me where did you spot the tree and link it back to this post.

You are right, The bottom of the trunk is so chubby :-). I am assuming this is not a normal thing for this type of tree.
My tree is here

Thank you dear. July has brought much needed rain here in Pune. Thats a lovely tree that has stood its ground even as the road ‘developed’ around it. Good capture and quote! Here is my tree https://yenforblue.blogspot.com/2024/07/red-glory-thursdaytreelove.html
