Green! Purple!
This #jacaranda is almost done blooming and has dropped most of its flowers in favor of leaves, but there are a few clusters still clinging to the branches.
Red jade. I need to look up what makes the leaves turn red & whether it’s a sign of trouble for the plant.

Lizard duo. There were at least three hanging around on and around this olive tree, sunning themselves and keeping an eye on the unpredictable humans following them.
Once you average these out, the kid framed a perfect shot!

It’s been a banner spring for a lot of other flowering trees and bushes, but the jacarandas are just getting started.
It’s been a banner spring for a lot of other flowering trees and bushes, but the jacarandas are just getting started.
The last few years have been really dry – since I moved to the area, actually – that this year’s half-normal rainfall seems to have kicked all the perennials into high gear. Most of the flowers are winding down (or being trimmed off) now that the rain is done, and I’d started wondering if I’d missed the jacarandas or if the change this year had meant they hadn’t flowered. And there was my answer: A tree with leaves, flowers, and buds forming. I hadn’t missed them after all, they just run on another schedule than everything else around.
The angle of the sun makes the contrails’ shadows stand out sharply
The wind was steadily blowing from the left of the frame at ground level, and apparently at the level of a popular flight path as well. The angle of the sun makes the contrails’ shadows stand out sharply, and you can really tell the older trails from the newer ones by how far they’ve spread out.
