Flowering trees are the epitome of delight. The short-lived blooms remind us to relish great moments as they happen. This photo is of a Bradford Pear tree in front of my house. These petals have been open about 5 hours. Even a day later, they won't be this fresh, this pristine. I consider myself lucky to be home on the day of the bloom, lucky to have a camera and lucky to have an audience to share it with.
Are you been noticing the flowering trees where you live?
Happy Spring!

Anne, we have 30 Bradford pears lining our driveway - actually, it's more of a lane.
They only bloom for a short time, but we are so lucky to have them!
Sounds gorgeous, Ruth Ann! Don't you love the touch of pink inside? Take a picture!
Absolutely beautiful! I think Ruth Ann's driveway would be spectacular. Come to think of it, our driveway looks a bit like a lane too but is lined with Pinoaks and Photinias
