Stop and Smell the ...

STOP

I am still amazed at how disciplined people are crossing the street here.

I am doubly amazed at the existence of stop lights for bicycles.

I stood across the street to get this picture

because I chickened out standing on the bus lane

to get a close up shot.

AND SMELL THE 

MacGyver and I saw several of these trees on our trail walk.

I had NO idea what kind of tree it was.

As we passed by a corner house with one of these trees, a lady came out the door.

I walked up and asked her what the tree was called.

Thanks to her, I now know what the flower is called.
