Saturday photoblogging: Jacarandas blooming in Buenos Aires

i've been falling down on the job in the photo department... i've been promising photos of my trip up to nw argentina and the province and city of salta and that was nearly a month ago... now, i'm back in the u.s. and already missing being in that beautiful country even though i'm headed back after the first of the year...

a friend visiting me in argentina from macedonia (yes, i left him to come here, but he's got almost three months left, so it's not TOTAL abandonment) took these on thursday in plaza san martin in the buenos aires microcentro (central downtown)... when the jacarandas bloom, it will take your breath away...




i especially love it when the falling blossoms carpet the ground...



if you want to see what a jacaranda tree looks like completely COVERED in blossoms, check out the wikipedia entry on jacarandas...
