Women are generally classified as temperamental. Well, maybe we are. But, do you know what is just as temperamental as women?
Nature!
Yes.
Nature has got its wild mood swings. Not just a mood for each day, but on certain whimsical days, it has a different one for every hour!
Just today, it was sort of sunny in the morning. Then it turned cold and started raining. After a few hours, it grew very, very windy and through the little open vents in my window, blew in sleek gusts of very cold air!
While I could battle the winds by securing my windows, the trees outside had a very tough time of it. The poor things were quite shaken and the wind carried away most of their summer leaves and left them quite bare.
The parting of leaves from the trees is a very sorry sight. One is reminded of the the days when they were once green and tree was vibrant and the world was sunny.
Winter is fierce and quite ruthless and it commands the earth and sky alike. For even the clouds grow glum and dark and the air is filled with a longing for warmth.
And what do I do on such days ? Well I drink tea and read a book and when I am bored with that, I take photographs.
The above pictures are taken from my window of a school that stands in front of my flat. It is only afternoon and the school is empty. The children were left early owing to the rainy day.
These photographs are of the front balcony that is wet with the rains. The trees outside shiver in the wind.
But the plants inside the house are safe and warm.
It's too wet and cold to venture out today. Here is my desk with a book and a cup of tea.
