With the blooming season of the jacarandas almost over I figure I should get this opportunity in. You can see these trees leave so much debris beneath them, a reason that some people don't like them, despite their beauty. It pops on black.
@pcoulson Thanks, Peter. Interesting that you mention the shadow. I struggled a little with that, feeling it was a bit too dark. I tried to lighten the shadows, but it ended up messing things up, so I went back to the original state - and then talked myself into accepting it as is....and ending up liking it! Thanks for the feedback.
@louannwarren Thanks Lou Ann. Yeah, I don't think they'd stand up too well to the extremes of your area. Actually for much of the year they look kind of straggly, but in springtime they're hard to beat.
@mjmaven Thanks so much, Shirley. Yes, they're a rather fragile tree, and I don't think they'd stand up real well to the harsh winters in New England. Glad that you stopped by to look and comment.
@markkoso65 Thanks, Mark. I think it's unanimous. All seem to agree that they're OK with dealing with the mess as long as they give us something pretty to look at.
