As summer comes to an end, everyone eagerly awaits the arrival of the monsoon. Who wouldn't love the rains, bringing with it, the fresh smell of the wet earth. As I was sipping my tea one evening in the garden, at a far end I could see fast moving dark clouds move towards an unknown destination to pour down their treasures .. Yes, a feast for a long waiting dry earth. Seeing lots of dragon flies buzzing around in the air and ants collecting their grains tells us of the soon to arrive rain.
It is always nice to watch up in the sky, a line of bats and flocks of cranes crossing paths in the evening sky ... As the cranes fly back to their nest after a day long find, while the bats head out for their night find. Amazing, One can say this is natures mood and celebration.
As the sun was getting ready to retire for the day, and with the sky still bright, a thought of doing a quick tea scape came to my mind before the deepening twilight could set in. As a result, I quickly took out my camera, and these pretty coloured flower print cup and saucers and white kettle to go with, and set a tea scape on the terrace garden. Hope you like it.

DeleteI just learned a very valuable lesson here! I always associated "monsoon" with something scary and negative, but the way you describe it it's just prolonged rains that nourish the earth which is definitely a good thing!!! Wow...you can actually see bats flying around outside??!?!!! You must live in a really amazing place to see all of this nature around you!!! Beautiful tea setting, and I really like the dishes you used! They are very happy!!! Enjoy your weekend and the glorious monsoon!
ReplyDeleteHi Alycia...you need not have to worry about Monsoon.you can change your opinion after reading this.we use the term monsoon for rainy season as the seasonal wind blows over the northern part of Indian ocean thus bringing rains after real hot summer.we welcome it.like summer getaways some people prefer monsoon getaways to some of sought after destinations,its a dream season.we have all kind of birds here to watch out.evening hundreds of bats fly some are double the size of a normal kite.i love the rains and thank you for your nice write up.
