Purpleness

Plaza Belgrano

Buenos Aires is awash in purpleness with the blooming of the jacarandas, which are artfully placed in parks and line many major avenues. The spring bloom is quite dramatic. They started blooming in early November and peaked last week. The trees are now dropping their flowers, creating purple carpets below. 

Jacarandas are simply lovely to an Ohioan who cannot help but think about the November starkness back home.
