....had set up my camera to take shots of the local Jacaranda festival fireworks and it became quite obvious once they began that I was facing the wrong direction! So now my shots had trees in the way...but hey, it's the Jacaranda festival and those Jacaranda trees in the foreground are laden with purple flowers. In the end I was quite happy with the shot :))

The annual Jacaranda flowering (Jacaranda mimosifolia) is in full swing in eastern Australia now. The entrance to each Jacaranda flower features a conspicuous staminode.
