    I think those are magnolia blossoms. The color is gorgeous against the backdrop of that beautiful sky.

    What a gorgeous capture, Carver!! I love not only the blue, blue sky, but the contrast in the two trees -- one bare and one in bloom! Fantastic! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

    Thanks to everyone for visiting. The tree in bloom is a Tulip tree (Magnolia liliiflora) which is quite different than the broad leaf large magnolias. This is usually a shrub or small tree. The bare limbs above the blooms are an oak tree which won’t start spring growth for some time yet.

    Lucky you - proper blossom already. Love the new header - have been on the lookout for daffs but have only spotted one out. It was in nextdoors back garden, didn't think they would be too happy to find me in there with my camera - think I might have been arrested!

    Thanks to everyone for visiting. To answer the question about seeing the picture, I frequently have to refresh my browser several times to see picture when I visit blogs. Not sure why that happens.
