I WISH THESE IMAGES TODAY... EU DESEJO HOJE ESTAS IMAGENS...

I chose these cedar's photo along my fence line, because today, I wish an image that would transmit "shadow and freshness". Escolhi esta foto dos cedros ao longo da minha cerca, porque hoje eu desejo uma imagem que possa transmitir "sombra e frescor".

I chose the photo of this tree in my garden, (it's barbatimão, a native tree from Brazil) because today, I wish an image that would transmit "cool and green". Escolhi a foto do barbatimão, árvore nativa do meu jardim, porque hoje eu desejo uma imagem que possa transmitir "frescor e verdor".

These trees are totally beautiful... pictures can not give the feeling! You have to seat under these trees, smell and feel the perfume and the freshness of the place. Como são lindas estas árvores... as fotos não conseguem transmitir toda a sua atmosfera! Você precisa sentar-se à sua sombra para sentir o perfume e o frescor desse lugar.

TREES IN MY YARD

Golden Trumpet Tree, "Ipê Amarelo" in Portuguese. The scientific name is Tabebuia chrysotricha. Tabebuia "is a neotropical genus of about 100 species of large shrubs and trees in the tribe Tecomeae of the family Bignoniaceae, original from Brazil.

That tree is native from Brazil, named Canafístula or Chuva-de-Ouro ( "Rain of Gold"). The Cassia ferruginea, from the family Leguminosae-Caesalpinoideae, bears the most flagrant flowers, which are arranged in hanging racemes. The flowers appear in October, November and December.

Flamboyant Tree, Royal Poinciana (family Fabaceae), is a tropical or subtropical flowering plant native of Madagascar and is consistently voted among the top 5 most beautiful flowering trees in the world. Royal Poinciana deserves its support. It may be the most colorful flowering tree in the world as well. Other common names for Royal Poinciana include Flamboyant Tree, Flame Tree, Mohur Tree and Red Flame.

This beautiful and extremely scented and fragrant tree, native from Brazil, is knows as Copperpod, Yellow Flame or Yellow Flamboyant, in Portuguese "Sibipiruna", scientific name: Caesalpinia peltophorides.

These two trees above are known as Barbatimão (Stryphnodendron adstringens), Family Leguminosae-Mimosoideae. This luxuriant tree in my yard is native to Brazil's cerrado vegetation.The Brazilian cerrado (savanna) bioma covers 2 million km² representing 23% of the area of the country (the same size as Western Europe).

We planted cypress all around our yard. Thuja occidentalis, a species of thuja, is an evergreen coniferous tree in the cypress family Cupressaceae, native to the northeastern U.S. and southeastern Canada, from central Saskatchewan east to New Brunswick, and south to eastern Tennessee in the Appalachian Mountains. This palm tree is a native plant in our region.
