Well done, Ashwini and that book has made people into modern day explorers of their own cities.. wonderful...
this book is useful in most modern indian cities as many of the same trees are planted by almost all municipalities.. I find that book very useful for a quick guide.. ASHWINI did you photograph some of these trees .. they would be a different viewpoint and different season.. and the birds and butterflies ... are you going to make a stream at flickr or some such? usha di On Tue, Dec 2, 2014 at 11:30 PM, Vijayasankar <[email protected]> wrote: > Nice work! > Thanks for sharing. > > > Regards > > Vijayasankar > ------------------------------------------------------------------- > Vijayasankar Raman, Ph.D. > National Center for Natural Products Research > University of Mississippi > > On Tue, Dec 2, 2014 at 5:09 AM, Ashwini Bhatia <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> On my recent visit to Delhi, I was swept up by my elder brother’s >> recently found enthusiasm for trees.
