The ground is covered in purple. It looks like a hallucination.After months of virtually no rain, I repeat, no rain, the jacaranda trees are covering the landscape with huge explosions of purple flowers. The highways are lined with the trees and what looked desolate a few weeks ago, now looks like someone definitely knew what they were doing. This month is clearly the time to see them in all their glory.
There is a carpet of purple underneath the trees and the wind blows the petals everywhere so at times, you feel like you are in some purple cartoon universe.
So that’s the thought for the day. After suffering through so much adversity, they flower with exuberance and in abundance, it is almost over the top.
So what’s the message? There are plenty to choose from.I choose to look at it as a good-natured challenge.
UPDATE: NOT PURPLE ENOUGH?
Try harder!

That is so beautiful, the purple color, like an intricate rug underneath those trees....
I took similar pictures this spring during our cherry blossom season, it was all covered in pink.
Have never ever seen so much purple produced by mother nature.
Makes me fell like singing:
"I never meant 2 cause you any sorrow...I never meant 2 cause you any pain.....I only wanted 2 one time see you laughing.....I only wanted 2 see you laughing in the purple rain..." and then the guitar explosion...."Purple rain, Purple rain...."
Hope I didn't sing it too laud...
