Snow White II

Posted by liaso (Bay Area, United States) on 18 March 2008 in Plants & Nature.

The trees are in full bloom near my house. This tree was particularly tall and full; I just had to photograph it. I'm not actually sure if the close-up picture of the blossoms is from this tree or a shorter one I could more easily photograph. Aren't they pretty though? Despite my sneezes, I love this time of year.

The pink blossoms I took photos of near work have already fallen off and been replaced by deep red leaves. I'll have to remember to photograph them one of these days, so I can show you all a comparison. The white blossoms near my house are starting to be mixed with green leaves (again, I should photograph them) and are not as full as they were when I took these photos two weekends ago.

It's amazing how quickly the plants change...
