Jacarandas in Bloom!

in #hive-1555303 years ago

Hello fellow Hivians!

I found out recently about a really great Hive community, Wednesday Walk, from one of my Splinterlands guildmates @oceanbee. Essentially the premise is just to get out there, take a walk, and enjoy partaking in some photography.

Well, I decided to take a walk yesterday to partake. While out I found these beautiful trees which are all throughout my city. I wanted to show you all what I'm so blessed to experience each Spring.

These are called Jacarandas and they are the most beautiful shade of violet/purple and just cover the ground with petals. They are really something to see, similar to cherry blossoms when in bloom. The funny thing is of course that they aren't even native to my area. They were deliberately brought in when cities here were being developed. These trees are native to various places in South America and they tend to do best in warmer climates.

Although this next image isn't mine it gives a really nice close up of the flowers which have these gorgeous interior tiger stripes. The only downside really is that they are incredibly sticky and can cause car paint damage if left alone.

Anyways, now that I'm more aware of this newish community, I plan to dive in and share my experiences with each of you.

As a bonus, here is a shot of my pup, Atlas, who joins me for these excursions. He has been on a weight loss journey over the past year and has shown drastic improvement.

Hope you guys enjoyed!

Nice photo, the purple on those trees really makes the tree stand out.

There are some streets that all of the trees are this type and it looks phenomenal. I don't think there are any near me but next time I see it I'll get a nice shot.

The flowers of Jacarandas are beautiful and colorful!

Hey Kote, welcome to the WednesdayWalk! I'm happy I inspired you to join us (just remember post on Wednesday - not a requirement but a request by @tattoodjay) 😄

Those Jacarandas are really beautiful but finally seeing Atlas again - yay!!! He is looking great and with him I bet you're going to have many more WednesdayWalk outings to join us.

Yes, its been a long while. I will get to posting Wednesdays in the future. It just got late yesterday and I opted to post it today instead.

Yay! 🤗

Firstly let me welcome you to the Wednesday walk 👍😎

I do love the Jacarandas the colors of its blossoms are so beautiful

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)

Yeah, its really an awesome initiative and I'm glad you started it.

Thanks kindly

Whoever is directly controlling the V2K told me to kill myself.
They told me if I killed myself now it would save the lives of countless others.
Saying the longer I wait to kill myself the more people will suffer.


They are reckless and should have shown the proper media what they had before taking me hostage for 5 years. I know there are many in prison that dont deserve to be there because of this. Your stay in prison will not be fun @battleaxe and friends. People are going to want you dead when they find out what you did. I hope you die a slow painful death. You sick mother fuckers.

Its a terrorist act on American soil while some say its not real or Im a mental case. Many know its real. This is an ignored detrimental to humanity domestic and foreign threat. Ask informed soldiers in the American military what their oath is and tell them about the day you asked me why. Nobody has I guess. Maybe someone told ill informed soldiers they cant protect America from military leaders in control with ill intent. How do we protect locked up soldiers from telling the truth?
