Pink Whale

This pink whale of a bougainvillea is catty cornered across from my office. It's the corner of Juarez and Lazaro Cardenas. This bougainvillea is always dramatic, but this year, since about late November, it has been spectacular.

It makes a deep shade for the taxi drivers who are always on call there. They even have their land line phone right there, if someone wants to ring for a taxi.

In the photo two prospective fares (standing) appear to be asking about rates. Or maybe they are just borrowing the shade for a moment.
