Time of Year for our Median...

The portion of Wilshire Boulevard, in front of the Gaylord, is known as the Robert F Kennedy Memorial Parkway. Along with all of the New Zealand flax plants that fill the median year-round, there is also a row of crepe myrtle trees and now is the time of year to appreciate these beauties. A deciduous tree, crepe myrtles are not much to look at during the winter months (even in LA!) with their barren branches, but come spring & summer, their pinks & fuschias are in full bloom and can be greatly enjoyed for the breath of color. If any of you out there can get me a beautiful shot of this colorful line up (the colors work well with the N.Z. flax, too!) I would love to share the photo with everyone (my camera phone will not do the composition justice). You can get some great angular shots with this line & backgrounds. Please enjoy this landscape as you stroll or drive by.
