blooming season


My bluebonnets are turning out even better than I hoped they would, and
September, despite the ever increasing temperatures, is an amazing time
where most of the trees burst into bloom. It's actually quite amazing,
considering that there has been not a single drop of rain for 5 months
now, but the trees know to expect the rains in a few months and are
preparing for another season of flowering and growth. It is really
beautiful, especially the jacaranda trees which look like giant purple
afros, the flame trees with their masses of red blooms, and the
beautiful white and yellow tree out in front of my place, which
basically looks like it has grown wedding bouquets at the end of a
hundred dried sticks. I'm proud that the bluebonnets picked now to
bloom as well; it's a testament to American solidarity with the African
plant life.
