I probably post similar photos every year, but it's so lovely, so fleeting, I just cannot help myself. The trees have not fully blossomed but we are expecting storms and rain overnight which will probably knock the blossoms off.

No, sadly no sakura. They are crabapples.

Beautiful! We just lost this season and all the trees are green now. Which is nice too. But the flowering season is something else. Here are some urban pics:

They are small ornamentals with crabapples about the size of a pea. The birds enjoy them in winter. Win-win.

Oh Inanna. That is so lovely. I bet it smelled heavenly! Does your daughter think that is magical? I seem to recall playing with petals like that as a child.

Someone needs to invent aroma-photos.

Wow! Love those colours - especially the first and third where the green contrasts with the blue.

Did those deer come right up to you?

Thanks, Jude. The deer were probably 50 feet away.
