Flowers

Looking over our walled apartment complex , the undeveloped property is wild, and lush. It  reminds me of 50 year old family photos showing undeveloped Stuart, and Jupiter, Florida.  I half expected to see a pond with alligators slithering in and out (there are no alligators any where around here; just snakes).

I find myself wondering how long this wilderness will last. India is growing at a fast pace. Up and down our back road apartment buildings are going up at an incredible pace. I have no doubt that if we returned in a year and a little bit, this entire road would be filled with other private apartment complexes scattered between the couple hundred year old gated British mansions and open wild spaces.

Colorful flowering bushes, and trees sprinkle the landscape in and outside of our complex.

Our apartment complex has artistically landscaped the entire interior of the complex. It looks like a painters canvas. This oasis takes a lot of maintenance. Every day men are crouched in the shrubs clipping and shaping the fast growing follage.
