Description
Like a beautifully styled giant bonsai tree, this majestic specimen’s violet-lavender blossoms take up almost a quarter of the intersection, nearly engulfing both the street light and signal light from this perspective.
The colors are unedited and are pretty much the way I saw them in this uncropped photo.
If you zoom in using the green enlarger box, you will notice the intriguing seed pods among the blossoms.
Some of these jacaranda images are available as prints on my fine art website, www.PropheticPortraits.net.
Song of Solomon 2:12 comes to mind: “The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come…” (NKJV)

Artwork notes::
This image is available as a museum fine art print (orderable at the links on the right side). Blue tones have been found in studies to have a calming effect and to help promote creativity. Consider a print of this image for a room in your home or office where you might like these characteristics present.
A wider-view of this same tree will be available as a separate image in my floral art gallery.
These photos are available as museum-quality fine-art prints and greeting cards. Quantity discounts are available for greeting cards ordered in a box of 10 or 25 cards of the same image.
Embedded in the top right-hand corner is the Hebrew acronym for "B'ezras Hashem" [ב ס " ד] meaning "with God's help". It is a reminder to me as an artist and photographer of my dependence on the Almighty, the Originator of all creativity. This is a similar acknowledgement used by great artists like Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel who signed their work with the Latin phrase, "Soli Deo gloria" which means, "Glory to God alone".
