One of my favorite things about spring is...
...when these glorious trees start to bloom here in Oregon. It is just spectacular!!!! I believe they are blossoming plum trees. What ever they are, they just make my heart sing at the mere sight of them during the few short weeks they are blooming each year. Hard to believe that not even two weeks ago, these sametrees looked like what you see in the last picture below....a reminder that time flies by so fast.
I've been meaning to get photos of these trees ever since we moved to Oregonalmost 8 years ago and this is the first time I've managed to actually do it before the blooms fell. I'm feeling pretty happy about that. :) I've captured part of what is so special to me about Oregon in the spring. What about where you live is special to you?
