The Gulmohar Tree
Mim´s favorite tree is a pine, but she lists a lot of different trees she liked at the place she used to live before. And suddenly all these trees popped up in my mind which I always looked at in awe. So beside the Weeping Willow you can count the Gulmohar tree (Flamboyant tree), Orange trees, Magnolia Trees, and Neem to my list of favorite trees. Except for the Orange tree, I remember all of them as a common sight in India.
The last 5 years of our stay in India we lived in a very dry place along the border of the Thar desert. Except during the short Monsoon the landscape used to be brown and dry. So imagine driving hours along the road, barren earth, scarce vegetation, scorching heat... and suddenly this bright tree flames up right in front of you. It´s amazing!

Oh my, this is beautiful. Isn't it wonderful the way one task leads to another thought, and then another. I'm loving this project.
What amazing trees - and a beautiful illustration.
I just can´t stop drawing trees now. ;) Maybe I´m going to draw more of my favorite trees into the journal.
But the flaming red of these trees are incredible. Unfortunately I didn´t find a pic of these trees in dry surrounding where they seem to burst out in red even more.
