A DAY WITH FLOWERS..


This sunday morning for we two was flowers all the way...........roses,gerbera.orchids and others in various hues and shades.so what if it was a day after the valentine day.Was it not the safer way to do it?o.k. no more un necessary harping. we just spent yesterday morning ,rather a good part of the day ,enjoying a flower exhibition held by Pune municipal corporation at Shambhaji park of city.It was such a refreshing experience that i could not resist myself from sharing it with you.
With it's tall trees,green lawns sprinkled with multicoloured flowers,fountains and ponds Shambhaji park is a quiet haven for the solitude lovers on a busy,bustling area midst the city.With it's clean ,well maintained tracks it is a morning walker 's delight.the soft music played is invigorating while the river flowing quitely provide the perfect backdrop.
The park is on Jangali Maharaj Road near Bal Gandharv audotorium.
Let us take a round of the park and then we shall enjoy the exhibition...............
