Redbud trees. Just gotta love them. No other color excites my visual cortex to such a satisfying degree. All of the trees in your photos are beautiful but the redbuds, even the ones imprisoned in a sidewalk up against an industrial building, are just glorious.
When I was younger, I worked as a river guide on the Cheat and Gauley Rivers in West Virginia. I didn’t do it for the money, or the thrills not even the camaraderie. Nope, I did it to get down the Cheat River canyon to see the Eastern Redbuds blooming high up on the cliff faces of the canyon walls. Merely a glimpse as the rushing water carried us past was enough to long to do it all again the following spring.
What a lovely sight to see the trees in your area in bloom, Ruth! We need to be patient here in the Arrow Lakes region. Nature is far behind this year.
Lovely photos Ruth 😊
Thank you Rainee.
So beautiful 🌸
They are in bloom. Fragrant and beautiful!
Yes you are so right. Just beautiful.
Beautiful! Must be fun to walk around and see them all.
Good to get out a bit. Rewarded with the sight of the trees.

Limited view from my porches! Thanks for bringing flowering Spring to me!!!!
Looks like spring has sprung there! We are still waiting for everything to fully pop. Any day now…
Spring will come. Ours came. Then a frost relapse. Lots of rain.
