Summer Flowers

 Summer evenings are scented by diffwerent types of Jasmine. My favourite is this jasmine with its fragrance reminiscent of lemon.

 The golden flowers of the Copperpod tree carpet the roads during this season.. The fallen flowers are soon swept away.

 Peach coloured Waterlily in my frog pond is blooming profusely now.

My thanks to the team of Today's Flowers where you can see what is blooming in gardens all over the world.

Enter the Elephant

 The elephant is adored and respected in India. The tame elephants which are housed in a reserve, help the forest officials to persuade the wild elephants which sometimes stray into the city.

Whenever the elephants travel on the road, the traffic halts in respect!

This is my contribution to Our World Tuesday and ABC Wednesday. Thank you, to both the teams.
