Its raining cats and dogs , the monsoon onset with heavy downpour has created a ruckus in northern part of India. While the condition in my city is stable for now and the concurrent rains has actually worked good for garden.
Thereby garden is gaining greenery with rains, some of the cotyledons are into blooms early after the heavy downpour of last week.
I am thrilled to see mango blooming after the monsoon rains so there will be third time harvest this year.
It is enthralling to see blooms of Portulaca , Lemonia back after break in summer season.

Meanwhile a Indian Great Egret was spotted near Lake
After a closer look I noticed a green mark over the eyes which was extended till its beak and after searching about it I was surprised to know that this green lore is a effect that develops on Great Egret when there breeding starts.
