Streets paved with gold

The photo hardly does it justice. The pavement is thick with rich golden filaments - flocked almost, like the fringes of chenille.


My neighbor's acacia tree is in bloom and flowers fall on my driveway as they decay.


It's like a rich carpet.


The streets are paved with gold.

I've never seen an acacia tree in bloom. What do they smell like?

Jen, the acacia species here doesn't seem to have a scent, not one I notice. There is a very fragrant one that is used in perfume, but this is not that one.

That's awesome... it's probably the closest thing there is to having a mallorn in the neighborhood.

The closest thing I've experienced to it is a cottonwood on one of our sites which makes the whole vicinity look like a blizzard just hit.

If it doesn't cause allergy flare-ups, it is worth the mess for all that beauty!
