I'm very lucky to have such a beauty right outside my balcony!

I tried twice to have one, knowing the odds were against me as I live in a desert. I tried because there are a couple mature ones around town.

Beautiful shots.

They are so beautiful but they are also picky about the climate they grow in. I'm sorry you didn't have any luck with them.

Lovely photographs. That is an ebullient flowering tree. How long does it flower in a season? Thanks for posting, now I know what a Jacaranda looks like.

They flower for a few months--3 or 4 maybe. Ours was late blooming this year; not sure why.

It gives me joy!

I'm glad you enjoyed the photos.

I love the bokeh in the first photo and the combination of sharp/soft focus in the second. The inclusion of the leaves gives context and additional color.

I appreciate your lovely remarks!

I hear you! And I certainly agree.

I'm so lucky to have this beauty right outside my study.

Such beauty makes me happy to be nearby. I'm lucky to have this magnificent tree right outside my door.

And what good is my happiness if I can't share it? Sharing is part of my DNA.

And thank you for the link! It's fascinating. Many facts that I did not know. It's a great resource.

The tree we had was too high for that without a ladder.
Good stuff there.

I am so lucky. My study is on the second floor, and there's a balcony there too. No ladders needed, thank goodness.

I am glad you enjoyed these.

your stuff always brightens our days!!!!!!! Thanks!!!

I'm glad to know this. Making others happy with my art increases my joy in living.
