This is a photo of Jacaranda trees which my niece took for me on recent visit to Australia. She said they walked through an avenue of them when walking grandsons to school.
what a fabulous colour Lorna :)
Lovely pic Lorna :D :D :D ... quite takes me back to Nairobi when I was a teenager !
... in the town there used to a road called Jacaranda Avenue ... bit like a french boulevarde with the main drag in the middle, bordered with rows of trees and parking underneath them in the side roads ;D ;D ;D
They are beautiful!
I wonder if the locals take them for granted?
I was in Sydney last month for the very first time, and fell in love with these trees too! Tried to take a picture, but it's not as good as yours Lorna. The colour of the flowers I thought was just like bluebells :)
They're beautiful- I just love the way different places have their own particular "stars".
Thanks for comments. My nephew and wife will be emigrating next year (they have just received their visas) to be near their sons and 4 grandsons. One great nephew lives in Cranebrook and the other in Alexandria. My 87 year old sister will miss them so much. 2 years ago my nephew offered to pay my airfare and his Mum's if she would go (so that I would be company for her) she said NO, I nearly strangled her ;D
Thanks for a great picture Lorna - makes me homesick!
