Bougainvillea

Yesterday when I walked to the post office I took the camera with me and looked at the beautiful blue crispy blue sky of Perth and saw these amazing Bougainvillea overgrowing the footpath.

this is a lovely variety of Bougainvillea! It looks like cherry blossoms from afar. Though I actually haven't seen one. lol

this shot makes me want to sit underneath this plant and savor the moments.

Unfortunately the Bougainvillea doesn't smell like cherry blossom :) but I admit, this is a beautiful variety!

Yes, my parents had a lot of cherry trees around the farm when I was a little girl. Love cherries!
Unfortunately the Dutch government made all small farmers stop farming so only the huge farm factories still excist... my father was a small farmer, now he is 74 years old and enjoying his horses, all what's left of farming days.
