purple



kerrie, this post is for you. i've been trying to get a good jacaranda shot while they are in flower, but am not having much luck capturing thier intense purple-ness. i think their impact comes when you see them as part of a regular, suburban landscape, they just stand out so much - i am always surprised by those insane blobs of purple on the horizon. but look at that clear, bright, clean blue sky! the light in summer in perth is very particular. its very, very bright.

much appreciated, definitely different impact against the clear blue skies of perth. have noticed a few around my neighbourhood that were babies last year and this year have grown enough to get some decent flowers - but will be a few years before they reach lofty heights!

the flowers fall off so quickly though... they are all brilliant and then its all over so soon...
