A week or so ago I went out to photograph the Jacaranda trees that were in full bloom here is Los Angeles. Instead of going to the beautiful streets of Beverly Hills, where photographers are not always welcomed, I chose a quiet little street in West LA, lined up with Jacarandas on both sides. Much to my surprise, the jacarandas were not the only attraction there. Every house had a colorful, interesting door, even the most modest ones. So that tuned into a door photo shoot too.Β
those trees are very nice but make such a mess. lol
They do! As does our big Tipuana tree, which produces tons of tiny yellow flowers that are a nightmare to clean. π

Love the variation of door colours.

Thanks!
What a pretty neighbourhood and ohh, the color of those flowering trees…just lovely π
Thanks, Norm.
Beautiful photos. I like the doors, and also the scatter of jacaranda flowers on the ground in the first couple of photos.
Thanks very much! ππ»
What a beautiful walk!
Thanks! π
I love seeing this, Angela – well done! It makes me want to go back to L.A. I haven’t been there when the jacarandas bloom, but I have walked around here and there in residential neighborhoods that are approachable (!) and enjoyed the doors and landscaping – all those tropical plants that I don’t see up here, I love it! We once stayed in an airbnb in the neighborhood with all the stairs – Hollywood Heights I think – and there were some great doors up there.
Thanks! Do visit LA in May/June to catch the jacarandas. I too love the cityβs abundance of tropical plants and developed a bigger appreciation for and better understanding of them since moving here.
Nice to know!
