A Photo a Week Challenge: Changing Seasons

Apr 2, 2020

—

IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO THAT SHOW HOW THE SEASONS ARE CHANGING IN YOUR PART OF THE WORLD.

In my part of my country, coastal South India, there are only two seasons 🙂 – Summer and rainy season. The rains ended in October, The weather was pleasant for a few months and now it is very hot.

The tree in front of our home looks like a huge bouquet. About two months ago there were very few leaves. Then one day the tree was looking fresh and green. Now it is covered with flowers, looking bright and beautiful.

There is a very tall mango tree by the side of the street. The mango season will start soon. But unfortunately this year there are not many mangoes. This tree is full of new leaves and it is believed here that if new leaves grow then there will be no fruits.

It is once more the jackfruit season. There are two jackfruits in our tree 🙂

What beautiful photos. So nice to see greenery. Our spring will be coming soon and with it, green grass and trees and flowers. The temperatures are already warming up to 10-12°C by day. I think this may pose some challenges in the midst of the pandemic as so many people are anxious to go outside and be in the warm weather. While parks are open for people to walk alone (or with families you’re isolating with), the ‘amenities’ (basketball courts, playgrounds, etc) are closed. But we’re still dealing with people who refuse to stop using them. In the near future they will be handing out stiff fines for doing this. I hope it’s effective and this pandemic passes quickly.

Nice to see what’s going on in your neck of the woods. I have never eaten jack fruit – my parents have a tree but the fruit is never ripe when I visit. Spring is in full swing here in the DC area with trees turning green.

  These two will take a month to grow and become ripe. Jackfruits are tasty but cutting them is quite difficult because of the white coloured gum like liquid which oozes out when we cut it. We apply oil to our hands before cutting. Hope you and your family are fine. Regards

I am most interested in the water truck. How does that work in your neighborhood?

Mangoes are to die for and waiting desperately for them to arrive.
Since I live in north India, haven’t seen any jackfruit tree ever before.
South India’s beauty is incredible and the cultural history needs no exaggeration,this is what I am looking forward to my next tour.

Ma’m do have a look at my work.
