It’s a bright, bright, sunshiny day!

I was feeling low after spending several days at the hospital bedside of a close relative.

So, I took some time out for a walk with my cousin.

I’m in Bangalore, India, right now.

Bangalore is a city of tall, arching trees and inflorescence that climbs up garden walls and cascades from terraces.

I walked among old green beings — Ashoka (Saraca asoca), Gulmohar (delonix regia aka Royal poinciana) and Jacaranda trees.

An Asian koel sang in a mango tree, each note pure as a raindrop.

Then I came upon this arrangement of a sunny Peacock Flower (Caesalpinia pulcherrima) growing against a sky-blue wall.

And my mood lifted from serene to sunshiny.

Thanks for reading!
