The Arrival



Overnight they came to life...the flowering trees have begun thier showcase in the Midwest. It seems that everywhere you look there are flowering pear trees and tulip trees. The Dogwoods have not yet bloomed but will be coming along shortly. I am pumped!

OH! So, so beautiful! This screams "new love" to me. You have a Hallmark business all your own! You know that, don't you?

Dan, what a beautiful image of Spring, I can almost smell the blossom!
I think we'll be waiting a while before the trees flower here and this makes me long for them to hurry.

DawnTreader said...

Dan, I never heard of tulip trees. Looked it up in Wikipedia and they don't grow wild here but can be planted in parks and gardens in the south of Sweden.

Dan Felstead said...

Dawn Treader...they do grow pretty much wild here. I am sure yo have species that seem commonplace to you that we haven't seen also.
