A ray of hope: the lapacho trees have bloomed

With one of the longest and most restrictive Covid-19 lockdowns in the world, people in Argentina, and specially those in Buenos Aires and other major cities, have been forced to stay inside closed doors for more than 6 months now. 

Of course I also tried to stay at home as much as possible and have only left home for essential necessities. For this reason I thought that I wouldn't have the chance to see my dear Lapacho tree announcing Spring for the first time in many years. But for some unexpected circumstances I happened to be just a couple of blocks away yesterday, so I took the chance to take a glance and take some photos of this wonderful tree, which was just starting to bloom.

The quality of the photos is not very good but I wanted to share this sign of hope and the joy of Spring with all of you.
