Floral treat at Guru Nanak Dev University, Amritsar

With spring in full bloom, open spaces in the city have become more vibrant as trees and flowers radiate numerous shades of pink, yellow, red, lilac and other colours. At this time of the year, when the trees look the most beautiful, The Tribune staffer Manmeet Singh Gill and lensman Sunil Kumar took a round of the city to capture the beauty of nature in its myriad hues.

It is the time when sap rises in the trees. And the sap is the liquid that trees use to transport nutrients.

Even the trees in different shades of yellow and green look like flowers.
