This beautiful tree in my garden is a native tree from Brazil, named Canafístula or Chuva-de-Ouro (means in English "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.
View to the back of the house. This tree with red fruits is a Pitanga Tree, in Portuguese, Pitangueira. (Click on green link to go to other page).
View to the Jurumirim Dam from the top of my house’s water reservoir.

Sonia, fotos e cenários encantadores. Meus parabéns.
ReplyDeleteAbraços. Até mais.
Oh My!!! If I could look at this every day....what a view....a beautiful place.I am sooooo jealous...
ReplyDeleteI think your home is ideally situated, Sonia. What a lovely area! I love that rain of gold tree; the blossoms are beautiful. The foliage looks something like mimosa tree foliage.
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots. Those views were simply breathtaking..
ReplyDeleteI remember your Rain of Gold from a previous post - so pretty. And how great to live so close to all that water - an Aussie's dream!
ReplyDeleteSonia, o que mais se pode querer: casa, churrasqueira, piscina, praia particular, flores amarelas no jardim, clima tropical...êta vida dura!!!!
ReplyDeleteTudo muito bonito.
What beautiful pictures, as always. And so close to the water .. how wonderful! That is what is missing here at my house - a lake or dam or even a creek right out side my door.
ReplyDeleteBlessings
Sonia cada vez que vejo isso, me dá vontade de parar por aí.
ReplyDeleteQue lugar maravilhoso, as flores lindas, a pitanga, fiquei surpresa em ver o tamanho delas, muito graúdas.
O ipê amarelo dando um toque especial. Esta florzinha branca que ví aí do lado esquerdo, é a que chamamos de grinalda de noiva?
Uma florzinha em cachos, minúscilas?
Parabéns, seu canto é lindo, maravilhoso.
Um beijo
A really nice place to live, although I understand that you sometimes miss the city life? So much space, such nice views... Anyhow Sao Paolo is not far away!
ReplyDeleteSo incredibly beautiful, Sonia. Thank you
ReplyDeleteSonia, you must be so happy there. Saying it is beautiful isn't saying enough.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh...a water view, flowering and fruit trees. Just wonderful. You are lucky.
