J sent me this picture he took from his hotel room in Nairobi. Do I envy his view? Instead of the orange and yellow leaves I love so much at this time of year, in November in Nairobi the jacarandas drop their purple petals all over the ground like lavender snow. So, yeah, I guess I am envious.
Three years ago I took this photo on Key Boulevard in Arlington. Sadly, I can't find this tree this year. And I know where it once was.
There are lovely jacarandas in Los Angeles too--actually, my old street, Veteran Ave, might even have the largest concentration of them.
ReplyDeleteNo one ever told me there were jacarandas in LA
ReplyDeleteThey are indigenous to South America.
