DEP Photography May 2023 Prompt | DEP Weekly Prompt
Share A Fond Memory
DEP Weekly Prompt 31/52 + DEP Photography Prompt for May 2023
I love this gorgeous golden trumpet flower tree from my son’s campus. It is all over the place, brightening the area with its pretty yellow flowers.
Let me recall a happy memory of the golden trumpet flower tree. In March 1992, I moved to Bangalore on a job transfer. On my first day at work, I was scoping out the area. Our office was close to Cubbon Park. I decided to ride through it on my scooter.
I was cruising, really, fascinated by the greenery, when suddenly I came across this tree and I literally stopped, spellbound. I couldn’t help staring at the beauty before me. This tree, covered in yellow flowers, the ground around it carpeted with the yellow flowers — I mean, words cannot describe the joy I felt at that moment! No camera those days. Well, I did have a point-and-shoot Kodak but obviously did not carry it around. I couldn’t wait to tell my Mom about the tree!
The memory of beholding that tree for the first time is one of my happiest memories. Of course, I saw many after that. I felt a little sad when we moved back to Hyderabad in 1994. But we were back in 1999 and now that I live here, I am thrilled about all the flowering trees in our own locality.
I went down that same road in Cubbon Park, Bangalore, recently but the tree wasn’t there. Still, I can never forget how mesmerized I was when I first saw it. Oh, and I love yellow!
As for the tree on my son’s campus, I enjoyed many leisurely cups of delicious coffee sitting on the bench near the tree!
