Unexpected Pleasures


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!
