Beautiful blossom


Today we were working underneath this tree clearing the ground of a mass of tangled bushes.  I looked up and had my breath taken away by this beautiful yellow blossom.  I had been so focused on what I was doing I hadn't noticed!

The type of blossom and the way it hangs down and dances in the wind reminded me of the jacaranda blossom that I saw in Africa.  Except that jacaranda blossom is the most heavenly blue rather than yellow.  

But this was also very lovely.  It reminded me that I must take time to stand and stare and enjoy these beautiful things around me.  Life is more than just rushing around to get all my jobs done.
