Neighborhood Trees

Yesterday brought the threat of  tornadoes (none appeared), much needed rain, and the deflowering of our neighborhood trees. Below is Marilyn's Gold Tree.

Tim's Jacaranda tree spills its flower petals all over the street at this time of year.

But the most important tree in the neighborhood is the live oak tree that stands in our front yard. It is adorned with a Hurricane Hex Sign painted by neighbor Bob Collins. The hexy palm frond has saved our bacon during the past three years; no hurricanes here.
