A tiny bit of magic!
I stepped out into our lane this morning, rather intrigued by what looked like a broad sun beam halfway down the road. A closer look revealed that the road was carpeted by the tiny yellow flowers from the kadamb tree's laddoo like inflorescence. A strong wind had blown a little magic into our lives. Thank you, wind. ( Of course I'll be even more grateful when you blow some rain clouds and actual rain our way!)

No rain yet, huh?

but you should have clicked a picture too.
these three lines are a picture enough though.
next time, do not miss...
@eve's lungs, mampi: Thankoo:)
I could visualize the beautiful scene - luverly :)
"ladoo like inflorescence" - that's such lovely imagery! I've never seen a kadamb flower before, but from your description, I guess they are round and yellow like a ladoo. Do they also scatter petals like boondis from a dropped ladoo?
@Lekhni: Thanks! There are loads of pictures of these laddoos on the Net-
