Spring in Queensland

[ozjohn]

Poinciania time. Trees just coming into bloom and an eastern water dragon a common harmless lizard in SE Queensland. Grows to about 2 ft in length.

PS the tree in the foreground is a jacaranda from South America.

Just back from WA, the jacarandas are absolutely spectacular this time of year!

I think this is one too. This one in Hong Kong and taken in 1986. The building is the Officer's mess of the Queens Gurkha Engineers - I suspect long since demolished by the new Chinese regime.
