New & Glorious!

Saturday afternoon I was out riding my motorcycle.  The sky opened up and we had a slight reprieve in the rain.  I stopped on a gravel road to snap some photos.  The road was lined with Flowering Plum trees.  It's fitting that the day before Easter everything is in full bloom; new and glorious!

Flowering Cherry


We have three of these trees in our front courtyard. Every year at this time we get to watch as these crimson blossoms open up and change first to pink and then white.  The whole event takes a about a week or so.  The temperature Wednesday was in the low 70's so these little beauties really popped out. It was rainy and overcast when I took these images yesterday afternoon. They're not as bright as I'd like. Stay tuned for more of their progression.
