Jacaranda's in BLOOM

My favorite season in Australia is SPRING. It is the most brilliant bright mix of colors that you usually don't see in the USA. For instance. There are two trees in bloom right now. First the Jacaranda's (you can wiki it). These trees are bright purple or blue and they are HUGE. They stay in bloom for nearly a month and when the leaves take over the blossoms the petals fall onto the floor literally covering the sidewalk like a majestic carpet.

The most beautiful wedding couples I have seen are the ones who get married during the spring here in Sydney and take advantage of this natural wonder. It is like nature has decorated just for the occasion. A lot of these trees are planted along the water so you can imagine the effect. Our street is lined with these trees so when I walk down to the park we walk on a purple path.

I am not sure what the name of the second tree is but they turn bright red/ orange and then go back green for the summer. It is crazy against the purple and blue Jacaranda's and then the deep green grass below. Serious, I have to come home and look at a white wall just to recover from going outside and being stimulated from all this color! :-)
