Blossom Time

Not only is it lilac time, but trees and bushes are also in flower. I showed you Nick's flowering tree a few days ago but have managed to press the shutter for a few others since then. We found this ↓ one in the country very near the lilac acreage that I posted about two days ago.


There is a row of trees that bloom briefly by St James Park. I photographed them well with my Canon a number of years ago, but their duration is brief, so I have missed them ever since then. This is my first attempt of this row with just the phone.


Another shot from right under the row.


Sue away from the tree row but in the same park and under the blossoms of another tree and beside the tulips. 


A very colourful tree beyond a fence, near the OVR Trail.


The best photo of the bunch, in my most humble opinion, is this ↓ one, taken next day in our neighbourhood park.

  1. What delightful spring blossoms! Yes, the last is wonderful, leading ones eye through the winding path and over the bridge and back! It wouldn't be the same without that blooming tree at all.

  2. So many beautiful lilacs in one place. The scent must be wonderful.

  3. I can never decide if I think spring or fall is the prettiest time of year but when I see blossoms like this, I lean toward spring-- partly because they are so welcome after the long winter.

    1. Both seasons are so brief, but I think we appreciate them more because of that.

  6. All beauties but there is an elegance of composition that makes the last photo memorable.

  11. You show some great flowers but your grass is a vivid green making things look pretty fresh.

  14. I agree that the flowering trees are beautiful, even if short-lived, but I also liked your favorite photo of your nearby park with all its greenery.

  16. I love the variety of trees! Ours are done blooming but now it's rhododendron time. Except mine since it's dead. :(
