And for the last year I'd say our weather has been a bit different. It has been bit wetter which is a REALLY GOOD THING. We are a drought prone area and water is constantly an issue, so rain is very good. Our last summer was milder. Our blast-furnace heat lasted only a few weeks rather than months. Happily I was off on trips both times so I missed them all together this year! Hopefully this kinder-gentler weather will repeat itself in the years to come.
Our trees do reflect our seasons albeit a bit later than in many climates. This spring the jacarandas didn't turn purple until almost late June! Recently we had a period of a few weeks when everywhere the trees were golden, rust, blazing red, ocher, bright yellow and even these amazing pinkish-orangish-reddish colors. - Just glorious against the evergreens and eucalyptus! Then last week we had a rain storm and yesterday a bit of our winter winds blew in and now some of those trees are beginning to look a bit bare. You've got to capture that color and enjoy it while you can, that's for sure!
I hope you all are enjoying whatever wonderful weather you have -- There are wonders everywhere aren't there?
