While I was away in Xieng Khouang, the leaves on the Bodhi trees suddenly emerged. When I left on Monday morning, the tree next to my neighborhood temple was bare - and when I returned yesterday, the saucer sized leaves had sprung open. The new leaves are a pale, translucent green, and the shadows of the leaves on other leaves can been seen through the leaves.
And here's a follow-up picture from my shot from last Sunday - whatever it is they planted has now started to grow. I'll take a picture next week to see if I can determine what they planted.

What a wonderful shadow shot!
There is nothing better than the trees budding in spring! We are looking forward to that....and soon!
Beautiful B&W shot and how lucky to catch fresh spring shoots, can't wait to get the buds in my frozen area...soon!
Nice contrast! Some things are more descriptive in a black&white photo.
Very nice picture with interesting shadows.
I love that this photo is in black and white. Very lovely.
Absolutely beautiful! What a great shot! Thanks for sharing!
The shadows are so delicate. Does it have a fragrant bloom?
Perfect, delicate shadows! Nice job!
One of my students had mentioned this tree, but I didn't know what it looked like. Nice shot!
I love the heart-shaped leaves of Bodhi tree. The Buddha was enlightened under the Bodhi tree. We, Buddhist, usually treat Bodhi trees with veneration.
