Changes of season may not be as dramatic in Mexico City as in northern climes, but they definitely exist. This is a jacaranda tree. It flowers briefly in Mexico City, beginning in February. By the end of this month the lavender blossoms will have disappeared.

This is what the street looks like when the blossoms fall. That's why this is my favorite season in Mexico City.
