these are just for you :)
(it's not Paris but darn it all, I think I'm just as lucky to be home!)

the last of the Japanese Magnolia blooms ~ thanks for setting me straight, 'the other Mel'!


the beginning of rhododendron season

and the best of all...apple blossoms in profuse glory...pink enough for you, Mimi?

      funny ~ I didn't edit these pics at all & when I posted them I told Jas the same thing about how real they appear on the screen since the flowers were so perfectly lovely ~ I don't think you could take a bad photo of them right now

      I'm glad you love them, Mimi...mission accomplished!

    beautiful!! Although those are Japanese magnolia, not dogwoods. Dogwood blossoms are more flat: http://rlfranz.net/Lynchburg/Spring2009/PinkDogwood_04-21-09_DSC_8115.jpg Japanese magnolia are called "tulip trees" because, well, they look like they're covered in weird pink tulips (the scientific name is actually magnolia liliiflora, which I LOVE): http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6cXkV4pzZuc/TVosyGFTQsI/AAAAAAAAGjo/qx_aYQbzeaY/s1600/Japanese+magnolia%252C+2.jpg

    looove all the pink!

      thanks, Melissa ~ my parents have a dogwood in their yard and I didn't think this one on my walk looked exactly like it...I stand corrected

      thank you :))
