There is a tree near my place called 'badam' tree or almond tree. A near perfect in formation having branches at regular intervals,like mushrooms a top of each other...fruits of a perfect oval shape, red when ripe...the flesh of this fruit is almost sour taste. and inside there is...obviously almond or atleast some tasty nut...the blooms are white preety smallish kinds...like a small stem and teeny weeny flowers forming a mini creamish conical tree in themselves and the leaves , of same size and color. So much is the oneness that one fine day in winter the tree decides to shed its perfect leaves. but how? the earlier day all leaves turn deep ruby red...like the tree is real annoyed with itself...like a perfectionist gets annoyed with others.
and the next day the whole tree is real naked...with only its scrawny, gaunt branches can be seen....Wait for two more days and you will see on the branches, leaves in clumps will slowly find their way, as if some kind of wierd green leafy flowers almost like roses are grown on the surface of the branches...
A week later, the tree gets its new green clothes back:)
