Pretoria... Jakaranda Stad...

The city of Pretoria (Now the city of Tshwane)
The capital city of South Africa, Pretoria is cupped between many hills.

As a student many years ago I use to walk these hills during the months of September/ October to drink in the beauty of the Jacaranda trees in full bloom. These trees bloom during exam times at the end of the year and the students use to say that if one of the blooms dropped on your head you’ll be ok during the exams.
This-of course-was not always the case but the myth goes on till today!

This intensive color of blue purple became one of my favorite colors.
I just love lavender, purple pansies, the blue forget- me- not and iris.
To say it shortly I love the blues!


To all you South Africans scattered all over the world hope you get a glimpse
of this ( I hope not forgotten) beauty. To the rest of the world isn’t this awesome?

Pretoria, Jakaranda Stad... dis weer Oktober maand...
It really is a kind of magic! I love it when the Jakaranda's bloom and all the streets are lined with a purple carpet. Except for the bees... don't like the bees!
