Snowing in Long Beach?

Went driving in the neighborhood this afternoon, and turned onto this street and had to take a picture. It looked like it was snowing, with the Jacaranda flowers falling in the breeze, and the tires making a popping sound while driving over them on the pavement. What I liked was that the street was so empty of cars and made it look so desolate.

There are none on my street, save a single tree in the yard of the house directly across from mine. We all have trees that produce strange berries in the fall.
