Beauty of Acacia tree in black cloudy night - 1
.
I was overwhelmed by seeing
the beauty of Babool* acacia flowers,
In this rainy season only,
It was a thick cloudy evening -
When the dark clouds of the sky were not allowing
the soft medium light of stars
to fall on Earth,
.
The cool breeze was blowing
With its soothing spray of small mini drops of rains,
It was creating a magical pleasant feeling and
a loving touch on me.
When I came out of the house alone, as usual,
For my daily evening walk. 01
.
When I passed by those acacia trees queues
on the side of the footpath,
On that deserted road,
Where I go for my walks everyday,
I suddenly stopped,
After noticing and watching,
The lamppost’s light falling
On that acacia tree,
In the dark of that rainy night.
.
And in that lamppost's light,
The beautiful yellow flowers of Babool  (acacia tree)
Were smiling with an amazing beauty,
I was suddenly stunned, 
To watch that beauty. 02
.
The tree of acacia is a tree 
from which people often
Keep a distance,
because of its sharp thorns and 
even fear to go near it.
.
I was standing almost touching its thorns
close to it,
Charmed by its magical beauty.
To catch some of it's images,
Of those vibrant beautiful flowers. 03

  NOTE: * Babool or acacia tree is found in large numbers in India in those areas mainly, where the water level has gone down deep. I am currently in New Raipur of Chattisgarh.
