Jacarandas


About this time every year, the jacarandas bloom, and as you can see, they are quite stunning. And they are everywhere, even in the city. They only bloom for about two weeks, and the rest of the year they have regular green leaves, but at this time of year, there is purple everywhere you look. These pictures were taken by our German friend Klaus at the Quad on the University of Sydney campus. Enjoy.

These trees are gorgeous, unless you're cleaning up their flowers in your yard. Well, I suppose they're still beautiful, but then there's purple everywhere.
