What a place ? ? ?

It is not more than 5 months since I put up the snaps of a very cold winter in NJH. I even had a snap taken of the temperature measured on that day . . . January 8, 2013. 

But, today was a totally different day. The temperature was so high that our thermometer was not enough to measure the temperature. I wonder if it was at least 55 degrees Celsius. 

Good for all people who are away on vacation. But, the better news is that we've been having good electricity supply since the last month. So, not an intolerable summer . . . so far. 

Of course, we would be happy to have some rains . . . Lord, please send us showers of blessings . . . 

The Palash Trees

I've written and put snaps earlier about the Palash trees which dot our landscape during this season. They make quite a good scenery. You must have noticed one snap in the post on the visit of Dr. Nevin where you can see them. 

Below are few snaps I managed yesterday when I had gone to Ranchi to pick up Dr. Ron Hiles. 

You can see the trees far away . . . giving a orangish glow to the forest
