35 Degrees South: Jacarandas and Stuff.

From Lofty, click for full size. So beautiful! And I love the fence in the last pic.

In a little enclave just near the City, it’s the time that the Jacaranda trees are flowering, the public gardens are well tended and the 100 year old houses look pretty. Last night’s storm knocked half the blue flowers off the trees and carpeted the streets with them.

Runaway Bay, Jamaica.

From Saad: This photo was taken over 60 seconds on the coast at Runaway Bay in Jamaica. We also made an unexpected feline friend who decided to keep us company while I was setting up. Fortunately it was in the mood to sit for a portrait. :) Breathtaking! Click for full size.

Heavy, Wet, Deep.

Tuesday is usually go into town day, but the town plow has not been out, and no one is going anywhere until the roads are somewhat cleared. The snow is around 15″ deep, very wet and heavy. It’s windy, too, supposed to be 30mph winds tomorrow. The photos are of bits of the two deck pines, one in front, one to the side. Click for full size.
