In looking back through my posts, I realized that I talked about a Jacaranda tree and you couldn't see it very well in the picture posted. Therefore, I went outside and took these pictures of one of many such trees on the ranch. They are beautiful. It is as though the leaves disappear and are replaced with lavendar blossoms.
I find it ironic that Jacaranda trees are nicknamed Christmas trees here. In fact, I laughed out loud when Rose told me that. Fact is, they blossom before Christmas so it makes sense, although they are so far from the image conjured up in my mind by the term "Christmas tree."

Thanks for the close-up! I wondered what the flower looked like. Kind of like a Bouganvilla, only lavender instead of Fuschia, and much much larger. Your photos are amazing, and your blog story even better. Thanks for posting! Can hardly wait until you are back to see you and Steven and see all the pics.
Susan and girls.
