This week and next are the height of the flowering season for the jacarandas, a tree native to Brazil but imported here to good and welcome effect. The trees flower before they leaf, a very pretty spring phenomenon. They tend to stand out, not just for their color, but because they inhibit the growth of other trees around them anyway. Looking out over the city, however, inevitably provides a view of some jacarandas in any neighborhood - well, any I've been in. These are among the more welcome features of life in Sydney.
We've been invited to a jacaranda party out in Erskinville next weekend, which should be very nice.
