Name The Trees

Name The Trees

Wow, third post today, I am impressed with me.

As I mentioned before there are alot of trees blooming right now, after all it is spring. I could use some help with naming a couple of these.
I think this is the Jacaranda Tree; but I am not sure.

What is this one?

Here is a closeup of the flower on the tree above.

This is what covers the new leaves on the rubber tree before they emerge.

I love the color contrast between the red bouganvillea and the blue car.

Here at home the Desert Rose is starting to bloom, here is a close up of the first blossom.

It is too windy this afternoon to go to San Carlos fishing, so I guess that is it for excitement for today.

Is Spring Here?

Is Spring Here?

It is another beautiful morning here. Has spring arrived? When I looked at the thermometer this morning at just after 8 AM it was 75 F./24 C., no wind, no clouds, lovely bright blue sky. The mango and lime trees are blooming, the roosters are crowing, the dogs are sleeping. The coffee is right in front of me. What more could you ask for? Life is good.

I did go to spanish class yesterday and the teacher showed up. This was good. She gave us an exam. This was bad. We whined, she made it an open book test. This was? Questionable. I did well on the vocabulary part, I think--the verbs on the other hand, UGH. I thought I was getting them until I stared at that test page, I tend to blank out on exams anyway and when facing spanish verbs this is not a good thing. Oh well, I knew I needed to work harder on them and this only confirmed what I already knew. So....why am I playing around on here instead of working on my verbs? I guess the answer is--because I am basically lazy.
