Jacaranda

I always look forward to seeing the Jacaranda trees in full bloom throughout the city every year. When these gorgeous, full, purple trees are blooming, you can almost set your clock. It means Summer is on its way, the school year is almost over, graduations are coming up...another year has passed.
I have a picture of myself in my cap and gown under the Jacaranda trees at Cal State Fullerton. Love that shot.
The fact that these trees bloom every year--right on time--is kind of comforting really.
It's a reminder of the routine--simple--cycles of life.
That no matter all the changes and chaos and craziness that goes on...
thankfully, much of life is still so very predictable.
