One of the first posts I wrote when we moved to India was about the beautiful trees in Lodhi Gardens. India has some wonderful trees!
If I had ever heard of a banyan tree before we moved to India, I had completely forgotten.
I will never forget this tree…………..

I’ve seen it when I was a kid.
I have seen pictures of them before, but never in person. Unbelievable!
Loco – hey welcome back! It is the awesomest!
Pam – welcome back to you too – don’t we need a few of these in the glen? I think the winters might be too rough on them
am alittle behind on reading…
would love to have this in my back yard 🙂
WOW! Awesome!
Lola – I keep telling you to come over here – just bring a big arse suitcase.
I want that tree! Can you dig up a few roots and Fed Ex them to me STAT?
Badass – it rocked – I’d love to see the pictures you would take of it – you would do it much more justice.
Tottsmom – Enjoy yourself! The taxes can wait! Just file an extension now and enjoy some Tottsmom time!
Naomi – There is a great one at the school too – right on the playground – I really don’t know if you can climb them – maybe a reader knows – I do know you can swing on the branches – at least until your mother sees you and tells you to stop – don’t even ask how I know that one. 😉
Kathleen – hello to you too – we are very glad we went to the zoo – for a number of reasons.
such a beautiful picture! Glad do see you survived the zoo and (sort of) enjoyed it.
just wanted to say hi!
That is an awesome tree. Truly awesome!
My five year old wants to know:
“So … would I get in trouble if I climbed that tree?”
Yes, If you have ever seen one they are hard to forget. I saw my first in Hawaii. On a side note, I am alone for the next three days, just me and the dog. My Honey took my three kids to see his Mom. First time in AT LEAST 12 years that I have been home alone all by myself, no kids, no husband, nobody. Kinda scary, Kinda wonderful. Guess I had better get started on the taxes.
That is just beautiful.
