Hope and pray that sky above your head has started getting it's original colour back and land laid under your feet is changing her colours too.
Yes this is SPRING knocking at your door!
Please open your arms wide to give this lovely friend a tight HUG!!!
Spring is always something special to me .
This is the season when i feel smile playing on my lips without no reason ,just looking around and realizing the blessings showering upon make my breathing so light so smooth ,so happy ,so serene and so grateful!!!
So i smile i sing and feel myself dipped in the deep ocean of Gratitude and joy beyond definition!
Day before yesterday Hubby decided to take us Sukkur city which is almost 40 minutes drive from our small town like city.
He thought we been stuck in work being done in house for more than 2 months so just to change the view we went to Sukker which is an old city of our Sindh province in Pakistan.City lays western side of indus river which belong to one of the oldest civilization of this world.
Sharing some photos which i took and some which i took from google image just to give you a clearer view of place

This is Lloyd berridge (image google)
Each time to get in sukkur city we have to cross this bridge though another parallel bridge has been made to reduce the load of traffic from old bridge
Now photos which i took while walking in the city
when we reached in park it was crowded with school kids who came to picnic before final exams in end of the march
girls students were very less than boys
children were playing when we came and after half hour when we were leaving they were having lunch provided by school management
Boats were roaming in the river and people were enjoying the ride ,i ride less in boat (yes phobia along with many others:)
took the photo of monument tower which was under reformation
these kids were playing in the street ,one of them was too shy to be in photo so sat down
Date shop where one can find all species of yummy dates.dates of this sindh province are exported to all over the country and even to other countries
we visited another park of the city situated in the heart of city
Gave our feet some rest among the so many flowers flourishing in various designs
these flowers were arranged in the shape of ship
those one were designed as bouquet
closer view of bouquet
all flower pics are captured by me and my youngest son
We went to the market to buy some mats
when hubby and youngest son went to the upper story to pick up selected ones i took these shots
we bought a long one piece of mat and at home cut it into four pieces for each door so dirt and dust can be avoid in rooms as keeping the big house clean is being tougher part of my routine .
Time to evening pray dears!
Take great care i will be visiting your lovely places soon ,
God Bless You All!!!
Thanks for sharing these lovely photos of your outing!
ReplyDeleteDear Baili, this line you wrote really reached out to me: "i smile i sing and feel myself dipped in the deep ocean of Gratitude and joy beyond definition!" Like you, I am feeling such gratitude for my life and the years I've lived.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing all the photos--yours and Google's--I know very little about Pakistan and I so like learning about your country from your postings. Take care. Be gracious to yourself. Peace.
The Google pictures are very nice. I liked yours much better. They show the warmth that you felt toward the scenes. I enjoyed this so much.
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy these glimpses into your life, Baili.
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers Photo's !
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely day out I love the flower displays.
ReplyDeleteI have mats at my doorways too it does keep out a lot of dirt from the outside,

A very pretty city! I like your photos of the date shop, the carpet shop and the flower gardens!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty city, i love seeing street scenes like the date stalls. Very sensible of you to put mats for each door! Flowers are pretty some we have in the uk but not all. You look pretty in pic with hubby. Betty x
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful family Baili, as beautiful as the pictures taken by you and your son. Your outing appeared to be a wonderful day I sure enjoyed all of the sights that you shared with us.
ReplyDeleteIt's very nice to have a break in a different place. And Sukkur looks like a very beautiful city.
ReplyDeleteYou sounded just like me about Spring. I feel it coming and I love it. It makes me smiles!! Your photos are beautiful!

Well, spring here is a long way off. You visited a very beautiful city.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures look so nice. It seems like you had a nice visit. We have a forecast of 31 centimeters of snow coming where I live so it is not yet spring here :)
ReplyDeleteIt is always nice to take a break from the work at home and enjoy a new place. I guess spring has really arrived in your part of the world, we are possibly getting snow tomorrow night although they say it shouldn't stick, some of the plants are starting to break through the ground, I can't wait until we have all the beautiful flowers you have enjoyed there and to see the trees get their buds. So special to see your trip!
ReplyDeleteSmells like Spring.
ReplyDeleteLoved it!
Have a nice week.
The flowers are lovely. Your mats look good. Nice to get away from the house for awhile. Take care.
ReplyDeleteHello dear Baili!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely place to visit!
Very impressive bridge!
Wonderful pictures from your walk in the city and beautiful Spring flowers!
I really enjoyed your post!
Have a nice day!
Dimi...
Oh, how lovely to take a trip. Many beautiful flowers and sights. What a fabulous water park for the youngsters to enjoy. I am glad for you that your house is now ready for living in comfortably and not the sounds of workmen droning on and on. I do hope you are also in good health these days. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time. And such lovely images. So many pretty flowers!
ReplyDeleteSpring is certainly making good progress in your part of the world! And while I read and looked at the lovely flowers, I felt like it was spring here, too. Thank you for such lovely shots.
ReplyDeleteWe use mats at every door, too. They catch a lot of the dust and dirt before it can go into every room. Very sensible! (both you and me - ha ha)
Thank you for sharing your trip to this lovely city!
Thank you for taking us with you on your family outing, Baili, such a lovely place to visit. I was interested to look at the date shop, so many varieties! I use dates a lot in my kitchen, but mostly majhool.

Dear Baili .... Thank you for the photos... It is always inspiring to view a glimpse of another part of the world and feel the JOY opening and refreshing our souls. I love the colors and the nuances of the culture...playing games and viewing the markets.... plus, it is encouraging to know that we all feel the same.... It was such fun to go shopping with you and see you sitting and relaxing with hubby ...ALSO ... I simply adore the floral landscapes of the ship and the sweet flowers your son picked for you.... That is Special!!! .....Wishing you a HAPPY DAY, Sweet Lady... xoxoxox
ReplyDeleteA very pretty area! I love the pictures of the flowers, the date shop and the carpet store! The mats look nice in your home! Beautiful family pictures too! Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post, friend. I love bridges, they are like extended arms to join. Wonderful the flowers.
ReplyDeleteBuen jueves 🙅
Besos.
Beautiful photos of your happy family, Baili! :)
ReplyDeleteThat bridge is AMAZING.
I so enjoyed this post.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing such a great selection of photographs.
All the best Jan
Happy spring to you!! Here, winter has decided it doesn't want to leave just yet. My littlest son has outgrown all his winter clothes but I am NOT buying new ones for him... he will just have to look like a ragamuffin for a few weeks until the weather warms. Then he will get a new (or hand-me-down) wardrobe and look much more polished. :)
ReplyDeletewow, i LOVE all your photos of you day out - there are some beautiful areas depicted in these photos. I like seeing the family ... and i was really drawn to the spice shop for some reason - i think the colors and textures there. this was so fun to see. thanks for sharing your world and your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful outing you had with your family.
ReplyDeleteI especially enjoyed seeing your photographs of the day :-)
I always enjoy your photos, Baili, especially ones with your family. Sukkur City is fascinating to see. I had never heard of it (at least that I remember) until you posted about it. I read that it was known as the hottest city in British India, with the summers especially hot and windless. Your Rohri Bridge was one of the first bridges built across the Indus River. I wish I could taste each kind of date in your photo! The flowers are lovely!
