EMPS # 82- Good bye winter/Hello spring

 " EMPS #82: GOODBYE WINTER/HELLO SPRING
It's a pretty simple one for this week folks... just grab your camera and say GOODBYE WINTER or HELLO SPRING! Show us what you enjoy the most about either season, or maybe even show us a picture that you feel accurately illustrates the changing seasons. If you don't happen to live in a place that experiences great fluxes in the seasons, then simply show us something representational of the season, such as a flower for spring or snow for winter.

Extra Credit: Show me something cold to represent winter or something warm to represent spring."


There's no winter here, it's almost like Spring all year round with temperature in the range of 79- 95 degrees Fahrenheit. Most flowering plants here bloom all year around. But with sudden change of temperature from the long dry spell to the sudden heavy rain, triggered a beautiful sight when the Pink Mempat Tree began shed leaves and  produced mass bloom. It's really an eye catching sight because usually the trees does not mass bloom like this.

The leaves are almost non existence.

But with more rain predicted in the days to come, soon all the flowers will be gone.

The other tree next to the Pink Mempat is the Trumpet tree , and is blooming normally, which is a common sight.

Hi Jama :)

79-95 all year long? Ugg. That's a little too warm for me. The pink blossoms is very spring-like though, it looks a lot like all the trees around here right now. Beautiful capture. :)
