Walking through the neighborhood

Last week (before the week of wet began), I walked Jessica to pre-school and brought my camera along.  It was a gorgeous, sunny morning with a perfect blue sky.  The perfect background for all of the trees that were either in full bloom or at least full bud.

Our King Crimson maple is the header pic.  I loved how the sun was making the red leaves glow.  I don't think the pic does justice to how pretty it really was.  And of course, the flowering trees are always gorgeous.

I was also fascinated by the pine trees - they are so heavy w/ little cones this year.  I really don't remember them being this full before.

The final tree pic was of my neighbor's Sand Cherry.  I covet this tree/bush.  I should just go ahead and buy one, but don't really have a good spot for it.  So for now I'll have to be happy with seeing this one from across the street.

If you haven't taken a walk around your neighborhood yet, I highly recommend it.  There are so many different and pretty things to look at.
