Tecoma Trees

Tabebuia Pentaphylla is the scientific name for these tall gorgeous magnificent trees, easily recognized growing along the roadsides in my land. This particular bunch of photos were taken in the grounds of a local university. It was a beautiful sight to watch the flowers floating down onto the ground, creating a velvet-like carpet. It feels like the heavens showering blessings onto us all on earth.

Happy Good Friday and Blessed Easter this Sunday, everyone!




The resurrection gives our lives meaning, direction, and opportunity to start over no matter what our circumstances - Robert Flatt


See the land, her Easter keeping, Rises as her Maker rose. Seeds, so long in darkness sleeping. Burst at last from winter snows. Earth with heaven above rejoices - Charles Kingsley







The joyful news that HE is risen does not change the contemporary world. Still before us lie work, discipline, sacrifice. But the fact of Easter gives us the spiritual power to do the work, accept the discipline, and make the sacrifice - Henry Knox Sherrill 
Let the resurrection joy lift us from loneliness and weakness and despair to strength and beauty and happiness - Floyd W. Tomkins
