COLORFUL CARLSBAD
Jacaranda Trees to be found everywhere during May and June
Ice plant, simply vibrant with color, growing densely and compactly along side freeways, around Legoland and around homes
Peacocks -- forty of them at the Leo Carrillo Ranch
This might be a lantana, but I've only been noticing it lately so have to find out its name, but it blooms most of the summer to the great joy of the bees.
Bougainvillea, blooms for many months and sometimes during the winter.
The photo I really should show you is the one of our beautiful flower fields, full of varieties and colors of Ranuculus, but I just can't find it among all my photos, yet I know it is there. Just the result of my bad filing system, which has been a 'learn as you go' process from when I first started with computers.
This is my submission for week's My Town Shoot-outs. To see more photos of towns all over the world please click HERE

Lovely, lovely.
Beautiful flowers and some great shots. Love the bougainvillea. I have had them but only in the hottest of summer. Not a good climate here for those.
I'm so HOMESICK!
The lice plant is great, I've never seen it before. Good choice.

Just beautiful!
That jacaranda is amazing and I love the peacock, too. Nice selection for your color shots.
Brilliant colours - a feast for the eyes.
Flowers for the soul. Lovely.
Fantastic tree, that is the first time I have seen one in bloom. Pity they cannot stand our winters over here.
Looking forward to if you find your ranniculus - i love them.
Enjoyed your town shoot outs.
Ahh, the jacarandas and bougainvilleam - the colours of my childhood. I'm feeling quite homesick, now!
