My favorite photo is one I took a few years ago, of the huge tree at the intersection of Quartermaster and Middle Road.
Because I love flame trees, I took some earlier this month, in Garapan. So the first photo here is from that group. And in the spirit of the contest, I took some more on gray Saturday (May 26) at P.I.C. The rest of those posted here are from that series.
None of these would be award winners, but I love the colors, so I'm sharing them here.
I love the characteristic umbrella shape of the canopy. I love the twisted tangle of the trunk branching out. I love the beauty of the individual flowers and the form of the clusters, and did I mention the color. Flame trees make me happy. Love this season.

When I was little, we used to play with the little pieces inside the flower. We used to battle who's (stamen?) could break the other's off.
beautiful pics of the flame trees. I can't wait to come home and see them in full bloom.
As much as I love the Flame Trees, I am feeling a small twinge of nostalgia and longing for the pastel beauty of Spring in the states. I miss the color, beauty and especially fragrance of lilacs!
