Trees of Lisbon - a photo post

There weren't a lot of trees in Lisbon. The ones I did see fascinated me...

Jacaranda trees fascinated me.  If you look at the first picture carefully you can see the Jacaranda on the grounds of the castle.  It is on the right close to the pole seen in the foreground. The second picture was taken at the castle. I didn't notice that I had captured the Jacaranda in the first picture until I was looking at the pictures when we got home:

I saw cork oak trees for the first time.

There were beautiful old olive trees at the castle but I don't seem to have taken a picture of them.

This old tree was on the walk up through the Alfama neighborhood on the way to the castle.

Hidden behind it was this graffiti: 

Black cats on either side of the door way. I would have gotten closer but the smell of urine was so strong behind the tree, I couldn't stay. 

Trees of Lisbon, you may be few but you are amazing and spectacular!
