Sal metamorphosis

The magnificent Sal trees, which defne the whole character of Kanha, are in the throes of change..they are shedding their old leaves...you can see in this image how the old leaves turn into delicate shades of ochre and yellow before they are shed. The whole forest is thus changing colours..it's so beautiful to watch and hear the gently sound of falling Sal leaves, which form a lovely carpet of yellow-brown leaves on the forest floor....


And new Sal leaves are alreday emerging from their buds..it's amazing to see the Sal forest in transformation and renewal..i am mesmerised by it's beauty..and am so fortunate to be here in Kanha...
