The Hot, the Loud n the Proud Calendula

Today, has been a beautiful day here in Lucknow.... Cold, Cloudy n yes Rainy too, as its been raining intermittently since the morning. I can  hear the pit-tar, pat-tar even as I try to concentrate on writing a few lines for my blog EVERGREEN TREE this evening, after a looooong festive break. Thankfully, the weather did clear out for a while during the afternoon, so that I could step out to take a quick stroll around the Garden n click a picture or two to share as my entry for this Year end, Month end.....The Hot, the Loud n the Proud Meme.
