The colour of the flowers is often debated — is it indigo, blue or purple?
Well, it's all of them and more as the colour ranges from deeper to lighter shades depending on the specimen, soils and season.
Well this tree is on its last legs, once those flowers are done it will be coming down via me and my chainsaw. Unfortunate but necessary. As you can see I have already trimmed approximately one half off the boundary and once those flowers finish up the rest will come down as well.
A test shot with my Tamron 28-75mm f2.8. It's my first zoom in quite some time as I mostly use primes. I have to say I'm really loving this lens and can't wait to use it when I travel.
Photo taken in a car park at the local Church in Redbank Plains, Ipswich, Queensland, Australia. Using a Samsung Galaxy 5 mobile upside down so the camera was close to the ground to capture the whole tree in the reflection.

Jacaranda prove'm de seu nome em portugues e puberola e' um termo botanico que significa " pube'rula " ou " com pelos minusculos", descrevendo a textura das petalas. Suas flores sao de um belo e refinado azul-violeta.
This delightful little tree is native to the environs of city of Sao paulo and nearby Serra do Mar, nowadays it is rarely seen because most of its habitat has been bulldozed to clear land for public housing. Jacaranda is a Brazilian name and puberola is a botanical term meaning " minutely downy" which describes the texture of the petals.
A deciduos tree, its flowers appear in early spring together with the new leaves. Besides being a perfect specimen tree for a limited space, it is a good addition to a shrubbery border because of its small size and light lacy foliage.

I tried to capture some of the beauty of the Jacaranda trees in full bloom... in full sunlight... oh well...
They are such superb trees when there canopies are full of blossoms and the leaves have not yet sprung forth... This shot was down on the Nepean River, in Sydney, Australia...

Quite a few suburbs in and around Perth have great displays of these colourful trees at this time of year.
Just after the sun goes behind a tree is the time to try this shot. I line the blossoms up with a Jacaranda tree in the distance which is blue because it is in the shade.
I've been cycling by Jacaranda for the last week or so, each time thinking, I'll bring my camera... Only to find on my return a day or two later the tree mostly devoid of it's distinctive light blue petals. This time fortunately I've caught both a tree in almost full leaf, plus the culprits, busy eating the petals. Actually captured quite dark as almost a silouhette because I could no risk a flash scaring them away. yes indeed, this one seems to be giving me a bit of a staring.
