Life is about perspective and how you look at something… ultimately, you have to zoom out. ~ Whitney Wolfe Herd
This weekend I went on a run and I was trying to find the same Banyan tree from 4 years back when I first saw it (picture on the left). The tree, the aerial roots were all there (picture on the right) but yes because of the month of the year and the years in between – I could see some changes and some semblance.
Very much how life is. Same thing years apart changes yet stays the same.
Thursday Tree love is a photo feature hosted on this blog on every 2nd and 4th Thursday of a month. The first edition of 2025 will go live on February 27, 2025. 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.
If you don’t see the pingback, please leave a link to your post in my comments section. Please make sure that your post’s link is showing up on this latest edition. I will link your posts on my blog in the next edition and spread some love. Let’s come together to appreciate the beautiful nature around us.
Before you go, don’t forget to check the lovely trees shared on #ThursdayTreeLove -180

Wow! I am so happy the tree was not sacrificed for road widening or some such development works. It looks wonderful! Here is my tree https://yenforblue.blogspot.com/2025/02/standing-proud-thursdaytreelove.html

Me too. This is an Agricultural university so hopefully trees will be protected here.

Good that it is still there and has not gone under the axe. In Mumbai, the way they are felling trees, I doubt how many will survive this decade.

That’s true in Bangalore too but this is hopefully a protected area.

How lovely! You’re right—as the years pass, things change yet somehow remain the same.

I love Banyan tree, particularly when small red berries start hanging in it, the birds raid them 😊
