The week that was #SkywatchFriday

July 26, 2019

It’s been a long while since I posted three posts in a week .

Part of the reason was sheer laziness and lack of inspiration. Part of it was my bouts of different viruses ( or is it virusi ? ) that attacked me at various times these last three months with surprising regularity .

The first picture was taken while waiting for the school bus yesterday. Would you believe that the rest of the day was wet and it was the rainiest 24 hours this year ?

These two were taken during a monsoon break earlier this week .

This was a rare monsoon sunset when the sky breaks into sunshine after a wet day.

Joining up with other skywatchers at #SkywatchFriday.

Have a happy weekend all

Another Mango Tree #ThursdayTreeLove

July 25, 2019

Sometime ago I shared a post of a stump of a mango tree.

Today I’m sharing the photo of its replacement – a stripling in comparison to the magnificent mango tree that dominated my father’s garden.

Despite being a young one , this true blue Alphonso had already yielded 8 large and sweet mangoes this summer.

I do hope this tree attains the stature of its predecessor and yields as much fruit as it did !

Dizzy Heights #WordlessWednesday

July 24, 2019

With skyscrapers being more the norm than the exception, many workers have to scale dizzy heights to keep exteriors clean.

My heart was in my mouth as I saw these two men cleaning the wall of a building across from mine.

And, suffering from Acrophobia myself, I was scared . After all, the drop was sheer ( at least a 100 feet down) and the outcome would have been far from pretty.

Though there was an acrylic barrier the men were working without harness. And we all know that ladders can slip especially on a wet floor.

Luckily nothing untoward happened and the men finished their job.

Are you acrophobic?

Sharing this with Esha , The Sky Girl, on #WordlessWednesday.

Hope you have a good week ahead.
