Cherry Blossom Festival









I'm lucky to have a cherry tree in the backyard. It was a volunteer in that it just popped up from the roots of an older tree that is long gone. It didn't really pick the best place to grow as it's heavily shaded by a nearby catalpa and huge cottonwood that is directly overhead. Thus it has some blooms but few cherries. None-the-less it is a pretty tree and seems otherwise happy.

Finally Crocus Amongus



This pair has bloomed, usually, in February for decades. This year they waited until March 14th. I think daylight savings threw them off.

But, worth the wait. Taken today.
