This photo was taken during the summer of 2017. We enjoy traveling to the beach during summer, but this summer we drove to the beach and parked in a different area than from where we usually park. This tree was not noticed on our walk to the boardwalk but was very noticeable on our way back that sunny afternoon. This was an odd tree that had a lot of these flowers hanging from it. I wanted to just see the flowers so I chose to zoom in and investigate closer.

We are in a drought so everything around this little tree was dry and dreadful looking. But, this tree looked so vibrant and colorful I could not help but to just snap some photos. My family went on ahead but, I stayed for a few minutes just looking at how beautiful these were. I was so glad that we parked somewhere else this time.
