Jacarandas
I’m sure i’ve blogged about Jacarandas before, but every year i see them begin to bloom i am taken again by surprise at how beautiful they are.
Photos obviously cant do them justice, but this is the one i see every time i drive to school to pick up the kids or drop them off early in the morning. so nice.
Today we went out for Megan’s birthday, a new friend of mine who is here with AIM/AMI for a year. We asked the waiter to take a photo of us and… well. I like it like this though because then you cant see all the things we check for in photos of ourselves. maybe we should start taking all photos of us like this? haha. That’s the new shirt i got for my birthday which is baggy in all the right places. pretty nice. For those who are interested, that’s Fiona (YWAM), Megan (AMI/AIM), Me (MAF) and Heather (AOG).As we were leaving i saw another Jacaranda in the parking lot. I’m hoping we’ll get out to Lac Anosi in downtown Tana to see the lake surrounded by purple trees… although i’m actually quite sad that they’re blooming already because it might mean that they’ll be done by the time my family gets here. I wanted them to see it too. Shame. The one in the yard behind the house formerly known as the Slaubaugh’s (although i suppose we still think of it as that and will until the Canadian Fliers move in in December) isnt blooming entirely yet, so maybe it’ll still be blooming when they get here.
