Jacaranda Along the Panlong River:

This year's bloom waits for no one; hasten to witness it while you can.
Four days ago, the jacaranda tree by the bridge had yet to flower, but yesterday it was in full bloom, albeit somewhat withered by the sun. From afar, it still appeared luxuriant. I have photographed this tree for three years, but never have I seen it bloom so sparsely. In previous years, it was a profusion of blossoms; this year, they are quite sparse.
Affected by high temperatures and drought, the jacaranda bloom is particularly underwhelming this year, occurring earlier than usual, with the flowers lasting a shorter time on the trees.
Location: The intersection of Jiangbin West Road and Gulou Road. A few trees are still displaying a passable bloom, but it likely will not last many days.
