Turning the city purple
11.05.2011
Every year between the end of March and the beginning of May, Mexico City turns a dazzling purple when hundreds of jacaranda trees bloom. The enormous trees lining streets and avenues, parks and gardens become weighed down with masses of purple flowers which later drop off, forming beautiful, if somewhat slippery, stretches of purple carpet underfoot.
It's a very pretty time of year to visit the city. Now the end of the jacaranda season is around the corner and we'll have to wait until next year for nature to put on its dazzling purple display again.

Hi! I live in Mexico and am currently writing a blog about life in Mexico. I love jacarandas, and I would like to ask permission to copy that first photo (with the bench) to my blog. If you grand permission, how would you like credit to be given? Thanks!
