Also known as Raintree or Rain treeSamanea saman [Albizia saman]A common street, parking lot & park tree here in Hawaii in Fabaceae (Pea family). Photographed on Oahu and on the way to work.Normally I just would have walked past this tree as I have dozens of times before. But this time, I saw the lighting playing on the flowers and had to snap a photo. How often we take the simple pleasures around us for granted.
