Summer Color

It’s summer and the flamboyan trees are in full bloom. The Caribbean is green all year round, so we see little change in the seasons. But in June the green of the flamboyan tree changes to dark red, orange or yellow flowers.

The color is just amazing and beautiful. Both the city and the countryside are spotted with these bright spots of color during the summer. It almost becomes a game to look for them as you are out driving.


I have also read that there is a blue flamboyan, but have yet to see one.


Praise be to the God of all creation for such wonderful gifts to us.
