So Long, Summer

It appears the seasons are changing here, at least as much as they do change on a tropical island. The winds have died down, and the temperatures are heating up. In another month or so, we’ll likely be in rainy season.

In late summer, we had a profusion of new blooms throughout the grounds. My favorite was the Flamboyant Tree. We saw these throughout Africa, and I was very happy to find several on our grounds. They only bloom once a year, but when they do, they are spectacular. As the summer winds down, our Flamboyants are clinging to their last few blooms. But here’s a picture of one at its height.
