Thank you all for your kind comments. Yes it is a Jacaranda and I have two huge ones in my garden, I love this time of the year when they come into bloom the entire city looks just beautiful. Nico, I have also been meaning to do a "Jacaranda shoot" but just have not had the time - you should try Parkview or where you live in Pretoria there are some spectacular streets to photograph.

Beautiful. Is that from a Jacaranda? There are lots of them around here. I always look forward to their blooming every year. ~dtallakson

Michael, as I was driving through the streets of Johannesburg this week, and saw these "purple carpets" everywhere, I too often contemplated turning it into something for this Challenge. Somehow, the right "scene" did not quite appear possible for me. But you did nicely! Compliments. Nico

she's right.... It resembles a rug and I like the purple, but it's not particularly garish.
