Description
While in Southern California at the tail end of the spectacular 2019 Superbloom season, I toured areas where the jacaranda trees were blooming.
In this photographic portrait, they grace a boulevard in Pasadena, California, their stunning finery set majestically against the partially overcast sky.
From research, I learned that these showy trees are quite temperamental in their blooming times, which can vary widely by location, even street by street.
The branches in this uncropped image form strong lines, like bold and elegant sumi-e brush strokes which embellish the delicate floral treasures.
“Blossoms appear in the land,
the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtle-dove
is heard in our land.”
~ Song of Songs 2:12
O Lord God, Creator of the universe, we give You praise and Thanksgiving for all the incredible beauty You have created on this magnificent planet for us to enjoy and steward wisely.

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 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".

This is such a beautiful tree! Purple my favorite! "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth; but the word of our God abideth for ever." Isaiah 39:8 (The Holy Bible J.N. Darby Translation)
