In Full Bloom
These lovely Coreopsis flowers are really putting a show on for Spring here in mountains. I guess they are probably classified as a weed but gosh they're so cheery, and pretty as they wave around in the wind.
Down in Sydney's Circular Quay Jacaranda trees are filling the sky with magnificent branches of purple blooms.
The shade of purple is just so right...
...and almost electric when combined with such a verdant green.
I love the way the flowers create big purple carpets underneath the trees.
This Ibis seems to like them too.
One of the things that make Jacarandas special to me is that they flower around my birthday. I couldn't ask for a better gift from Mother Nature. Well, except perhaps the cocoa bean.
Yum!!
