Muffled morning

Mahogany trees and fogEarly-morning sounds were a bit muffled and muted today.... made me sleep-in a half hour longer. Looked out and saw the Indian Mahogany trees all shrouded in fog. Mannat looked out and said «Hey, its all lavenderish outside!».  So looked, and I took a few photographs too, but it was not 'lavender' in hue like Mannat saw it.... maybe faintly tinted lilac but not obviously 'lavender'. Probably children can see color quite differently to our [preconceived] perceptions....?
Soon the seed pods will start bursting and the 'whirlybird' seeds will come twirling down for the kids to collect before the school bus arrives.
Apparently, the name Mahogany comes from a combo of 2 Sanskrit words «Maha» [Great] and «Gunn» [Quality].

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!
