Daily... and since 2013... Weekly (hopefully) photos of Miami, Florida, USA. However, be amply warned!!! Sometimes, I tell the truth, other times, I may not. Sometimes, I am joking, other times, I may be serious. It may be hard for you to tell... So if I offend you, I am joking or not telling you the truth. But my photos are all real because I do not doctor them.

Scarlet blooms
Under the royal poinciana tree, on a lazy Tuesday afternoon.
definitely "tropical" and beautiful in scarlet, yellow and coral colors during the summer months. The tree itself is a great shade tree and as a child I remember sitting under one in my backyard and watching the fronds on the ground . . .
Sometime in June, I will show you a few yellow poincianas that are magnificent. There is one in Coconut Grove (the best one,) one at my friend's house (tog blogging Coral Gables) and three in the University of Miami. every year I take dozens of photos of these rare yellow poincianas. I saw the first one in Bermuda years ago. That encounter taught me about the yellow species.
A beautiful tree that I have not heard of or seen. So it much be a 'tropical' variety.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the memories of South Florida and Cuba ...
