Gift of Golden Showers



What a glorious sight the Cassia fistula tree is in full bloom! It is beyond words. In the days of summer they seem to make up for the extreme heat by conniving with the wind to rain down its yellow petals on whoever happens to pass under its shade. Your gaze upwards will take a moment.

As you turn your gaze toward the ground you will notice that it has been laden with a carpet of gold. What luxury to tread upon. Magical. Simply magical.



I am grateful to live in the suburbs where i get to see these beauties.
