It is Springtime here in Porto Alegre. Curt and I just love all of the beautiful trees. We have a park near our home in Moinhos de Vento (Wind Mills) that is almost like an arboretum, it has so many different kinds of trees. Check out this Jacaranda tree that Curt is standing by. I especially love the carpet of lavendar petals on the ground. They call these trees Ype here in Rio Grand do Sul.



I just loved this flower, it really looks tropical doesn't it?




You don't find bouganvillea like this in Utah.


I love the flowers on this Callistemon. It is nicknamed Bottle brush tree, and you can see why. If you want to take a trip to southern Brazil, you should come in October. Everything is so green and blooming and beautiful. The temperatures are just perfect too.
