There is a burning bush in front of my main door. This poinsettia fireball bush is heavily laden with flowers. So much so that its branches are bending low , almost touching the earth! Many visitors who came to our campus on the New Year day , stood before this bush to get photographed and many took selfies with the bush behind.

I can't but smile back when I see those beauties smiling.
