One of the magical things of living in the Midwest is visiting places during different seasons and discovering how unique they truly are. My first time at the UW Arboretum as you might remember, I ran into some wild turkeys during my snow hike. I am happy to report that no wild turkeys were seen on this Spring visit HA! I only had one goal this time which was to see the beautiful Magnolia trees. This is the first time I’ve lived by these beauties so I’ve being photographing them any chance I get. They really are something else. Back in L.A, I always looked forward to seeing “purple snow” during these months. Wisconsin sure is making me realize the true beauty of Spring. If you have the chance, visit the UW Arboretum to witness this in person. You won’t regret it. Have I said they’re beautiful? HA! What’s your favorite tree? Happy Spring loves!

Purple snow? Yes, you read it right. From the moment I saw it, I fell in love with this magical “Purple snow”. Whenever I see them on the road, I smile.
I’m talking about the gorgeous Jacaranda trees. They always leave a purple magic behind, and when I say behind, I mean all around the sidewalks and the street.
Not sure who started calling it “purple snow” but I think it works. These trees are beautiful and can make any street standout.
Do you have any favorite trees? Or a favorite color you like to see on trees?
I hope they inspire you too.
