Unexpected Pleasures

Image
I walk past these beautiful trees every day. On a sunny day, they form a leafy canopy of shade.    Today, with an amber rain storm warning, I stopped under one of them to take out my umbrella. Looked up at the threatening sky, and saw the spectacular flowers. In all my years in Asia I have never seen these trees bloom. Fortunately, there was a low wall for me to clamber up and coax a branch down. And I made it home just in time!
