If it was a perfect world,
Jacarandas would bloom all year long.
And it would already be the rainy season.

- I have wanted to live in Mexico ever since the first time I set a flip-flop outside a VW Bus, on a beach in Baja, in 1968. I will live in this great country, among these warm and friendly people, until I gurgle my last breath and they scatter my ashes into the Bahía Tenacatita.

I especially enjoy driving around GDL seeing the Jacarandas and other colorful trees in full bloom. Something about being in a large city with lots of trees, kind of a balance....
ReplyDeleteAh, the jacarandas! I picture them there...in San Miguel...along long highways and lanes throughout Mexico!
ReplyDeleteNow settling for the smaller delight of seeing spring green leaves popping out of shrubs and covering trees in Austin,after a couple of months in bone dry dusty southern AZ and NM!And pink, orange, yellow wildflowers.
Great trees. Several were blooming as early as January in the hills around here.
ReplyDeleteSi, Tancho. You been driving around GDL and you didn't tell me you were coming???? tsk tsk
ReplyDeleteC and G, you know, sometimes ya just gotta love what ya got. Bird in a hand and all that. Anyway, those wildflowers in TX are nothing to scoff at. Remember who the planter was?
Steve, I don't remember seeing a single Jacaranda at the coast, I'm sure there are some but I don't think I ever saw one in bloom. It would be nice to see them amidst a grove of coconut and banana trees!
