Signs of Spring

Well.... spring has sprung here in New England. I got caught after church today, on someone's yard taking pictures of her magnolia flowers...ha ha... I did learn however, that the flowers I had been seeing all over, are in deed magnoilas. The lady had said when they bought the house, they were informed it was a Southern Magnolia. I lived in SOUTHERN Georgia, and it did not look like any SOUTHERN magnolia I have ever seen. So, I did some reasearch and found, yes, it is a magnolia, just not a southern one. It is called Saucer Magnolia. Isn't it pretty? The whole bush is pink.



You can see the lady's house in the back ground... HA HA




Here is a picture of it close up. The whole tree is covered in them... no leaves, just flowers.

I am pretty sure this is a Cherry tree. It is in front of the next door neighbors yard. I took a few pics of it... Look how blue they sky was this past Friday.

**UPDATE** I have been informed that this is the Red Bud tree.**UPDATE**

Just some other pics...I kinda like taking pictures of flowers. They hold still better than 5 year old boys.
Riley and I took a walk and found the Forsythia bush along the way, so here it is...

I am going to go see if I can find more flowers... hopefully not in peoples yards... HA HA.
