Jacaranda season

It’s a flowering season in Sydney now, but outside of the season, jacaranda trees tend to lose their leaves (or at least many of them) & can look quite bare. The trees are deciduous in their growth habit, losing their leaves for part of the year. In Sydney in particular, they often turn yellow in winter & lose their leaves in late winter/early spring.

Books

It’s a good idea to use a narrow space, which is otherwise difficult to utilize, leading into another room.

A beautiful & wistful quote. Beau Taplin’s reflections on wanderlust & self-discovery.
Capturing the deep, restless urge to escape familiarity, to lose yourself in the unknown – and to feel alive through displacement.
