Goa Goes Green!

One month into the rainy season, it is Green festival in Goa! The greenery which I see around me during the rainy season, always overwhelms me. Even though it is the Nth time I am witnessing it, I get excited, take pictures and post them everywhere! The dust and filth accumulated over the year on all surfaces is cleaned by the rain and everything feels fresh. The road side trash gets covered by the profuse growth of wild plants. Creepers cover the dead tree stumps, electric poles and form a festoon on the assorted wires and cables hanging by the roadside. Everything looks beautiful to me . I usually do not carry my phone when I go on my morning walk. But at least once during the rainy season I take my phone, click pictures of whatever I fancy and bug everyone with my pictures. Today was the day for this season!

An art work on my neighbour's compound. 

Roadside rubbish , beautifully covered!

A sea of green in my close neighbourhood!

Creepers turn a roadside tree stub into a green sculpture. Add an eye and/or an ear and you can have a cat or a bird!

A very common plant which has leaves big enough to cover any rubbish!

Rains turn a usually dry and drab surroundings into a feast for the eyes!

Single roadside wild flower, if you want a change from the green!

Nothing in particular. I just liked the mango tree!

How I wish we had roads like this everywhere. I know that my wish would never realise and am happy that I have one here for a sample!

Another 'plasticfree' stretch!

Some lucky guy's plantation!

Naturally formed welcome arch to someone's house.

Plants on both sides of the coconut tree join hands to create their own floral arch in my own backyard!

A creeper attempting to reach the top of my compound. I don't know what I like about it but I liked it!
