Happy Arbor Day! It seems very fitting that Ailsa, at Where’s My Backpack, chose Trees as this week’s travel theme. Here are some of my favorite trees.

2. Giant Fig Tree. Almost 100 years old, its house is a park in Beverly Hills, CA.DSC_0433_edited-1

3. Umbrella Tree, Ravello, Italy._DSC0294_edited-1

4. Australian Tea Tree. One of my favorites at Palisades Park, Santa Monica, CA._DSC1207_edited-1

5. Rosewood Tree. This huge beauty from S. Africa lives in our backyard here in LA, dwarfing everything around it.DSC_0197_edited-1

The Color “Purplish” ~~

I must have my mind on purple today because I shot lots of photos of flowers without noticing that most of them were purple, or at least “purplish”… Obviously, each of these tones has a specific name, but I am one of those people who have a difficult time with colors. I may call anything between lavender and blue purple. In other words, I am clearly color-name challenged… Color connoisseurs, please forgive me! 🙂

Weekly Photo Challenge: Early Bird

This week’s challenge is Early Bird. That’s a difficult one for me because I’m always late so the whole concept of early bird escapes me. I am also a night owl, who can never bring myself to wake up in time to see the sunrise. Unless I’m jet lagged, of course, which was the case when I took these photographs from my hotel room balcony in Ravello, Italy.
