There is something about the metaphor of blossoms falling to the ground, that seems particularly apt at the moment. The blossoms and the wheels may be falling off, but in that, there is awe-inspiring beauty. The growth during spring is laying itself down before us, as if to say "look what I've been busy with" and then moving on with grace, in the natural order of life.
I'm afraid I must admit I have no idea what the name of this tree is, but it competes with the jacaranda for attention at the moment.
... and once the jacaranda moves on to its next task, the flame tree will take centrestage. It's a beautiful drizzly day today, just right to take pictures on the way to work.And things will work out.

Dear Blogger,
I know this probably seems odd but I stole a picture off your blog to express with picture some of my feelings at this moment. I love the Jacaranda blooms and your picture was just what I wanted. I love also what you wrote about falling with grace. It seems so appropriate to describe these blossoms this way. Thanks for sharing and forgive me for blog snooping and stealing your picture.
-Your fellow blogger,
Cyndi
