"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a fabulous pair of shoes." Author of this quote is unknown to me but somehow I find these lines perfect to express my thoughts behind making of this triptych last night.
It's the second week of May & Delhi streets & parks are colored with blooming Golden shower, Queen's crape-myrtle & Royal poinciana trees & it's a nature's way of telling me that no matter how much I dislike Indian summer there will be moments when I would totally adore it.
I had been capturing these wonderful flowering trees for the whole last week & then I realised I have quite a collection which I won't be able to share in one blog so I have decided to color this blog yellow :) but hey! don't forget to check out my future posts because for next couple of weeks I will keep sharing pictures of Pink Queen's crape-myrtle, Orange Royal poinciana & many more Golden shower trees. For now enjoy these yellow beauties :)

Cassia fistula, also known as the golden rain tree or golden shower tree.
Fully bloomed Golden Shower Tree in the Japanese Garden, New Delhi.
This beautiful tree is also called 'Golden Rain Tree' & these pouring flowers explains it pretty well why so.
In many Indian languages these flowers are called 'Amaltas' & they are used for medicinal purposes in Ayurveda.
Though I have captured these images in New Delhi, this tree is very common all over the India & are signs of a virtuous summer in our beautiful country. Wishing you all a good week ahead & do come back to checkout my upcoming photo blogs on the other blossoming summer trees of New Delhi.
