“It’s been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will.” – L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
I was travelling for over two weeks and missed two editions back to back. But, I did not want to miss one last edition of 2025. So, here I am – signing off with a ton a gratitude to this community of tree lovers we have. Through you all, I get to see trees from all over the world and I can’t tell you how much happy that makes me.
So this is a tree I clicked just day before on Ozarkhed dam in Nashik, Maharashtra, India. We were driving back to Bangalore and VT wanted to see this dam. We pulled aside, got off the car and the scene was mesmerising. The sky, the colors, the reflection in water and then this tree. I didn’t get enough time to identify it and Google these tells me everything is Ficus. And that’s hard to trust. But here I am with all the things in these two photos that bring me joy.
I wish 2026 is kinder to us all and may we get to see more trees and feel their strength and hope.
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 January 8, 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.
