Well, thanks for the pictures, dear. For cell phone ones they are not so bad.
That weird trunk that looks like a basket is brilliant. I think I might use this in my NaNo story is I may (there are loads of trees int here).
Are the trees with purple flowers jacarandas? I encountered this tree recently on a post from an Australian friend and it seems that the tree is mostly belonging to the southern hemisphere.
Plenty of cool trees.
Thanks for the walk.
Best of luck with the job interview.

Well, as far as I know, these purples trees are called Ipê Roxo (the flowers can go from pinkish to violet). They are rather commom here, along with the Ipê amarelo (with yellow flowers) and the Ipê branco (with white flowers). But we do have jacarandás here too.

You're welcome.

And, thanks!
