It's almost jacaranda season -- let the purple reign

Yes, there are those who look at these lovely and amazing trees and see nothing but dropped petals and long weeks of sweeping and scraping. And then there's the rest of us, willing to drive miles out of our way to cruise the purple jacaranda canopy.

Where are great jacaranda streets in your neighborhood? (The trees in the photo, about a week short of full, glorious bloom, are on Myrtle Street in Santa Ana.) And does anyone know of a (don't laugh) jacaranda tour?
