jacaranda season

During October and November the Jacaranda Tree creates a spectacular display of purple through many Brisbane streets and avenues.

Remember the Arbour winding it's way through the South Bank Parklands? Here's another view against a backdrop of purple. Photo by Smurfie.

Jacaranda trees are just going off season now. Best time to see them here in Brisbane is late October to early November. But if you miss them don't worry - from now until Christmas the beautiful Poinsianas are coming into season.

He leadeth me...

The Lord is my Shepherd to feed, guide and shield me, I shall not lack.

He makes me to lie down in fresh tender green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters. He refreshes and restores my life; He leads me in the paths of righteousness and right standing with Him - not for my earning it, but for His name's sake.

Yes, though I walk through the deep, sunless valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for you are with me; Your rod (to protect) and your staff (to guide), they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my brimming cup runs over.

Surely only goodness, mercy and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life and through the length of my days, the house of the Lord and His presence shall be my dwelling place.

Psalm 23 (Amplified Version)
