POEM: Bees at Work


Bees buzz around a red flower.
The shining sun betrays the hour.
It rises from the cloudless east.
On this day, a movable feast.
And so it sounds the garden ’round,
these teeming bees at work abound.

DAILY PHOTO: Blast from the Past: 2014 Republic Day Flower Show

Taken in January of 2014 at Lalbagh Botanical Gardens, Bangalore

Since there’s no Republic Day Flower Show at LalBagh this year (owing to the pandemic,) I figured I’d post a couple pics from a few years back (i.e. 2014.)
