Beaten-silver Skies


Beaten-silver Skies

We had heavy rains lash Trivandrum all night last night and it was overcast wheh I left home a little before 6 AM for a round of Sunday morning golf. But after the first 9 holes the skies cleared and there was a cool, refreshing breeze. Our three-some sat down for a cup of hot coffee near the club house when someone remarked about "beaten-silver" skies. I looked up and saw this incredible sight - fluffy clouds high up in the sky, pushed into an orderly array by the winds. Hoping the light was right I pointed my Nokia 3230 phone camera towards the skies and came up with this picture. The gloom of the previous few days was gone, body and mind feeling refreshed and uplifted. It is amazing how a change in weather and the scenery can change one's mood! (click photo to se full size)

Leafless in Trivandrum!

This leaf-less tree in other months has thick green leaves and light pink/light yellow flowers. Today it looked down on those taking their morning walk, unmindful of its leafless canopy, but looking elegant all the same. It was as if it was stretching its arms to give. Let's take a leaf from this tree ... when we stretch our arms next, let them stretch out to give and not to take. (click photo to view full size)
