The Great Banyan (ThursdayTreeLove)

" Love is like a tree, it grows of its own accord, it puts down deep roots into our whole being."

- Victor Hugo

I very briefly visited Bangalore to attend a wedding. Much as I wanted to there was no time to explore and meet the wonderful trees of this city. 

But I did meet this wonderful Banyan (Ficus benghalensis of the Moraceae family) at the hotel we stayed. The glorious tree was a perfect setting for the wedding, as the young couple started on a new life together. 

I thought this quote made a perfect connection between the tree and the newly weds.






I am joining Parul in her ThursdayTreeLove blog hop. Do head over to see some lovely trees from around the world. Better still, join in!

    What a beautiful tree! I love how it's shaped -"the whole being." I like the setting, too.

    Thanks Parul! Happy to be part of TTL. It was a very brief visit. I do plan to make another Tree visit to Bangalore. Maybe we can catch up then! :-)
