Here today gone tomorrow

Jacaranda mimosifolia A massive, beautiful, old Jacaranda standing tall in the garden of a bungalow style house in Gulshan Dhaka - was chopped-down without any mercy, to make way for an apartment block.

Jacaranda mimosifolia is already a vulnerable tree species here - along with the Gulmohor [Flame Of The Forest / Royal Poinciana] - most trees being being cut down indiscriminately like the large Gulmohor in the middle of the old «Gulshan Circle-II» roundabout, also chopped down during the «beautify Dhaka» [LOL! ] drive before the last SAARC Summit. 

What a  shame!

Spring is here

The Mahogany trees are sprouting new leaves and the Starlings, Mainas and Magpie Robins are bringing bits of stuff to build nests... the color of the Mahogany leaves are bright orange red like fall colors anywhere else!
