JACARANDA TIME

We attended for a few days last year and the  78th Annual Jacaranda Festival is underway in Grafton now - October  20 to November 4.
I noticed quite a few jacarandas in full bloom around my home town on the weekend..... but didn't have my camera with me.
 
Linking with Smiling Sally for Blue Monday
 
Love and Blessings,
Jan

aren't they beautiful trees; only just starting, the occasional one or two that is seen near here at all. Those and cicadas always make me think 'Christmas'!

Jacarandas en masse have a very special beauty! The flowers seem to dance in the breeze and, when they fall, what a gorgeous carpet of colour!

The jacarandas are a wonderful sight. Unfortunately it's very smokey here at the moment with bush fires around.

Jan said...

Carole, I remember when I lived down your way that the trees blossomed later. Love cicadas, but don't hear them here in town!

Jan said...

Glad everyone enjoyed the jacarandas.
I picked up a beautiful jacaranda photo from my son's FB, and I will post, but not in a meme where we post our own original shots.

LV said...

You really found an amazing sight to share today. Beautiful scene.
