Those purple trees all over LA

[@iLiviesimone]

Question of the day: Is there anything around you in nature that always give you pause? That you don’t mind stopping for a moment to appreciate? My answer: Well, these of course. Lol. Quick story- I used to commute to and from my college and the traffic could be such a pain. But that is also when I first really started to notice these; when I would take different side streets in an effort to get home sooner. Eventually, I started purposefully taking those routes home, even if they were longer, just so I could drive under the purple canopies :) Another answer would be birds. There is a really beautiful blue one that is always by my home :D

[@Bramble451]

I think "smells" cause me to linger. Not the ocean, which smells awful, but planty smells - the combined smell of trees and flowers. I also reach out and brush my fingertips through the flowers I pass when I walk down the sidewalk. Sometimes the trees, too, to feel their bark. All the variety of textures is wonderful. Something you don't get much of here in California, but is wonderful to close your eyes and breath in deep, is the clean smell of the air right before a storm.

[@trondsi]

Maybe the blue bird was a scrub jay? They are common around here. I have become very fascinated by native California trees. Both the oldest and the largest trees in the world grow here!

[@andrewhide5140]

Coming from Australia, the scent of eucalyptus trees is very evocative. It always brings a smile if I'm in California for some reason, and I spot a familiar gum tree somewhere. Makes me think of home. Also, my bathroom window gets the sun for most of the day in spring and summer, which makes the window ledge a perfect place for my dragons to bask in the sun. (Yes, they're real dragons... just not the flying, fire-breathing kind. They're pretty good climbers, though.)

[@terralee5346]

I would say how sunlight filters through the trees and pretty vibrant flowers have made me stop to just admire for a while! (I also love how your outfit matches the jacarandas!) This video made me so happy to watch because my favorite color is purple, so now I have to go find these trees near my neighborhood!

These look so pretty! And it sounds like a lot of fun to „hunt“ them all down and document them. As for your question: I usually try to always be attentive enough to potentially stop for prettiness in nature (particularly tree bark is often overlooked, I find). But our garden always makes me happy, the hazelnut that grows outside my window and some sites near/around the local river.

[@iLiviesimone]

[@walkingexercise5375]

@@iLiviesimone Wow! I thought they were everywhere. If you are ever in the Southern states like Georgia or Tennessee during the summer months especially June, you will see them in the evening/night after 7pm. However, there might be more in the country areas of these states because there are more trees and less tall buildings and street lights. If in the city, parks might be a good place to see them. This is why I like this video, you learn something new about different areas! For example, I am watching a KZbin channel called Where is Tiffany and she travels in her RV to different states!

I now live in NorCal, rural Humboldt County to be precise, and we have a very beautiful AND messy "tree" (really a bush that grows big enough to seem like a tree!), the multicolored rhododendrons. Cheers!

[@RGMyers24]

Here in Venezuela we also have this tree as well as a yellow flowering tree called Araguaney (not easy to pronounce for English speakers 😁). Jacaranda comes from Tupi, one of the many aboriginal languages of South America. It means "of pleasant fragrance". Apart from that, I have the privilege of seeing the macaws gathering on the rooftops of buildings at sunset, they are cheerful and noisy. My country is in a terrible crisis but we can still appreciate its beauty. Thank you for the video!

[@Tom_McMurtry]

In New Zealand it is the bright golden yellow Kowhai in spring, or the dark crimson red of the pohutukawa and rata in summer! Endemic to New Zealand and filled with bird calls and movement galore. We do have Jacaranda's planted too, but not as many! I may come back and write a whole heap about the special NZ flora and fauna, as well as all the melodiously unique bird calls that we have, but it's super late here right now!

[@iLiviesimone]

If you do come back, I will definitely be here to read it! And I never heard of those trees until now- thank you for sharing! I would love to visit New Zealand some day

[@Tom_McMurtry]

I hope you do get there :) I really recommend looking up the trees mentioned above in google images, if you haven’t already, separately to see a hint of their divine beauty that they grace us with! On New Zealand nature, boy where to start. It came to be a special biodiversity hotspot that is a bit different from others still. How? It’s isolated landmass has lead to selective forces applying there that do not apply elsewhere creating evolutionarily significant organisms around the board. It has a long longitudinal gradient meaning you get both very cold climates, and quite warm, with a lot of variation in-between. It has a vast array of geographic and geological features such as mountain ranges, volcanoes, geothermal areas, dry areas and a lot of wet areas in contrast, interior forests and lakes, dramatic and shifting coastlines and beaches and outer islands. All of this has created even larger selective evolutionary forces as described above, but some of the biggest are not yet mentioned! NZ has no terrestrial mammals (other than 3 species of bats) and no snakes! This means both flora and fauna have coevolved in dramatic fashion, bouncing off each other’s capabilities and strengths and weaknesses far differently than the mammalian and snake predator and prey environment elsewhere in the globe. Dramatic 1000s of years old podocarp forest calling back to the days of what forests looked like during the Jurassic and earlier periods (evolved from gonwananian trees and have remained similar), mighty kauri forests originally having some sizeable trees with more woodmass in the volume of their non tapering trunks than the biggest of red woods before 97% of them were cut down (biggest first) for wood to accelerate the early economy. All the colours of green, as well as shapes and sizes of trees and forest floor plants and ferns, mosses, liverworts and hornworts and epiphytes, tree ferns, whacky colourful fungi and endemic palms imaginable (NZ has the southernmost palm). Dr Seuss like trees all over the place - I’m not kidding! Look up Dracophyllum traversii. New Zealand didn’t just have this varied, curiosity provoking and beautiful forest. It became largely a land of birds - the elephants/giraffes or giants of our forest were flightless birds. The biggest of which grew to 4 and a half metres tall - the female south island giant moa (there were about 9 or 10 moa species of varying sizes and all had no wing bone - humans have a tailbone despite having wings, but these had evolved in isolation from that need for so long that they didn’t have a wing bone). The little cute mammals were instead cute little flightless birds (5 species of kiwi for one example of a genus - feathers are almost fur like), and the songsters - still birds but more varied and densely numbered in the forest, as well as incredibly melodious in their songs. An early European explorer (Māori - the indigenous people - were here at about 1200 AC making New Zealand the last landmass on earth to be settled by humans. The first European boat made an observation in the 1600s. The second in the 1700s) had an English language account about the incredibly loud dawn chorus when their boat was 500 metres of shore by some coastline forest: ‘Their voices were certainly the [most] melodious wild musick I have ever heard, almost imitating small bells but with the most tuneable silver sound’ He was talking about the first of the songsters to start up in the morning forest. The Korimako (NZ bellbirds) and Tui (with their two voice and vocal range and repertoire beyond human hearing). There are many other examples of birds with delicious music to the ear. Kokako being one with its haunting organ like (the instrument) calls, bells and notes. Audio here at radio New Zealand National: www.rnz.co.nz/audio/player?audio_id=2590459 There are many, many other examples of interesting and beautiful calls from the whistling and clear kaka parrot, to the canary like Mohua or yellowhead, or percussion mixed with flutes of the New Zealand robin and on and on. Interestingly, names like robin and tomtit for example are misleading as they are unrelated to north American and European or Asian birds. They just had similarities enough to be called a familiar name! And many of NZs birds are like this. Not only is the species native to entirely here (endemic), but so is the genus, and family! Sometimes even the entire order! The New Zealand Wattle birds being one example containing the incredible Huia, it’s bright wattles and the differently shaped beaks between the sexes. They would pair for life and the differing beaks were better and worse at different tasks and so together they became stronger than apart. The Kokako mentioned above and Saddleback (all beautiful birds) are also in this group. Parrots like the kaka are in the New Zealand parrot super family along with the kea and nocturnal, flightless, lek breeding parrot that lives to 100ish years named the kakapo. Far removed from the rest of the worlds parrots and parakeets that you might see (we do have some parakeets in NZ however). And on and on here too. The piopio another, and described both by Māori and early European settlers alike as the most vocally and musically beautiful of any bird that they had ever heard both in New Zealand and abroad! And that’s saying something where there are already birds like the tui, korimako and kokako here as above. There was a north Island and South Island species. I say was because unfortunately much of the uniqueness has been lost. 63 endemic birds alone to extinction, with hundreds of others becoming rare. These birds evolved without the presence of mammals and mammals were introduced with humans. Rats, stoats, ferrets, mice and possums (the Australian marsupial species group) fed on the eggs, chicks and adults as they had evolved strategies that simply did not suit. Freezing works for birds that hunt by sight, but not mammals that hunt via smell. Being flightless or bad at flying to conserve the no needed energy as no mammals had space on the ground, as they weren’t here, became a death trap instead of a valuable strategy. Fortunately there are many islands in New Zealand that have had mammals such as the above removed so that birds like our hihi (ray of sunshine in the indigenous language of the Māori called te reo) can survive and thrive. Leading these many hundreds of birds to become abundant in these shielded areas, and the forests there to thrive as their coevolved seeds can be dispersed and flowers pollinated (many mainland forests - apart from mainland islands that have been mammalian proof fenced to become like islands, are slowly not rejuvenating overtime because of the lack of birds and bats - so no seedlings are coming through under the thousand year old canopies. What’s more is that the Australian possum is an omnivore so they also target trees and kill their defenceless canopies one by one as the leaves have not evolved protective measures). But we do have these abundance and this incredible amount of life and vibrance in these protected places, and slowly we are creating more of these mainland islands on the mainland too for larger forests and ecosystem types. Even with 63 extinctions there is an incredible amount of unique and utterly beautiful species with traits like no other, as well as plants like no other in the world too. For more about New Zealand’s incredible birdlife I would recommend the 1967 edition of Bullers Birds (first published in the 1800s). It has these incredible paintings of all the different birds, as well as first hand accounts from Buller of how they lived and interacted with other species in the beautiful environment that was there when Europeans first started settling. Of course the accounts of pre that time are fewer as much of the oral stories have been lost from Māori, and there were many extinctions with Māori first arriving with their mammals, and then a new wave with Europeans. Buller is a product of his times thinking, and sometimes the reading Is hard as they talk about collecting specimens before they go extinct (shooting - however unlike much of the rest of the world it was mainly the mammals humans brought with them at work that made these birds go extinct, and not the humans directly), but mostly it is beautiful and full of awe. A hard book to get though! Some of the pictures online are worth google imaging Buller’s Birds for though! Otherwise visiting an island without mammals such as Tiritiri Matangi while in Auckland, or Ulva Island down south, or maungatautari or Zealandia as mainland islands. The birds are not afraid and will especially come close and even land on your shoe if you stand still. Whirinaki forest being an example of incredible podocarp forest that hopefully will become a mainland island, and waipoua forest with giant kauri trees like tane mahuta and te matua ngahere as another example that hopefully will be soon and all worth google imaging. The endemic Beech forest is ethereal, the wetlands and rivers mystical, and coastlines incredible. Mountain pigmy forest and plants, subantarctic island mega herbs of colour when they flower, and flowers at spring of intrigue everywhere. Coastal plants, wet and dry forest and geothermally hotpool surviving flora (as well as fungi - the bright blue kokako one is pretty cool - named after the kokako birds bright blue wattles). Wonder everywhere! Hope you enjoy! There is far more here, and even Māori whistling imitations of the calls of the huia recorded after the went extinct and before these elders got too old in the 1950s. A final fact: NZ/Aotearoa incredibly has 1/3 of the worlds seabird species native to it in just its coastal waters. 1/3 rd !

[@Tom_McMurtry]

Also to add as a final note to this long comment above as apparently I maxed out the word limit for once! My favourite place is where I grew up every summer and holiday up north (north in the southern hemisphere is warmer) with it's beautiful blue green waters, forested hills and sandy beaches ranging from white to pink and orange and to black sand that then meets the crystal clear blue green sea. There are forests of seaweed (many different species here too) and fish, rivers to kayak up, and beaches to get to only via walking (not by car) or sometimes only by kayak. Canyons of ever changing rock and rockpools to drift through in the sea either on the kayak or just swimming. And dive into the depths below, gazing at what is around down, as well as up and around. Beautiful. Calm areas where the water gently meets the sand, or volcanic rock/granite/clay cliffs that is forested etc etc, or areas of surf where there is always a wave to catch and mediate on either in calm or in adrenaline.

Jacarandá are native of the north of my country Argentina, and also from Brasil and Paraguay. The name means "fragant" in tupí-guaraní. You almost got the pronunciation right, except the "j" it sounds like an english "h" and there's an accent on the last "a". Since you are interested in literature María Elena Walsh, a great poet, did a children song about Jacarandá in the 60's. Her widow, Sara Facio is a photographer who did portraits of writers like Borges, Cortazar and Pizarnik. Theres some cultural conections you can follow if you want.
