Sweet Girl calls the three ornamental cherry trees that we have growing in the middle of our circular driveway 'popcorn trees'. It is easy to see how she come up with that!
You know spring has arrived in the Northwest when the cherry trees break out in blossom!
The contrast of the lightest of pink flowers against the dark branches is stunning...
Not to mention the contrast with the beautiful blue spring sky!
This is what it looked like last week...
Just ready to explode with spring beauty!
Oh the difference one week and a little sunshine makes!
I am not the only one enjoying the new flush of blooms...
Our honey bees have flocked to the trees
It sounds like you are in the middle of a swarm when you stand under the trees...
Hundreds of bees going about their spring work!
Among the honey bees are the heavily fuzzed bumble bees are joining in...
They are louder and slower than the honey bees...
They remind me of little cargo planes of the bee world!
Yes we will enjoy our 'popcorn trees' while they are in bloom!
