Small but splendidly beautiful!




The greatest challenge in gardening is to stay mindful of small creatures!

Every time we trim or prune bushes, we bring peril to butterflies and insects or bees.

Some bushes and flowering plants are the favourites of the butterflies. Anna and I have identified some of them in our garden and have painted more of them! 

It was when Anna and I visited a butterfly garden recently we realised how they too can get extinct if we do not tend our garden taking into consideration the habitats of small creatures! 

When a garden has butterflies, it is a special place!

Jack fruits!


There was no jack fruit in this tree last year. W chad pruned the tree the year before.

So it is a delight to the tree with many fruits.

The tree took time to recover from the trauma it suffered from our pruning!

The post-traumatic growth is a sign of hope!

For me, it is special, because I have personally gone through a post traumatic growing experience after a stormy year in my involvement with an organisation!

A trauma is pain, but pain is only a prelude to an inner consciousness of new understanding of  life  with its  larger calling!
