#282 Spring - Redux

I have a few more photos of spring showing up in our valley. I think this is a Chanticleer or Bradford pear tree, but if you have another suggestion, I am willing to change my mind.

I can't wait for things to start blooming, This has been such a long, brutal winter. I have no idea what type of tree that is, but it's pretty. I like the details in the last shot

Lovely tree. The bloom seems to leap off the screen. Beautiful.

I am so jealous...these trees are so beautiful..I am in love w/ that bloom! It is in the 60's here for the next few days, then back to snow and freezing rain this weekend (but at least we got a break)!

Man, I am so jealous. We don't have any signs of spring here in Georgia. It's just around the corner, however.

I think we have something similar called an ornamental pear, but it is very pretty and the flowers attract lots of bees.

Spring starting to show up? Looks like it is in full bloom with all it's glory to me & green grass too.Our springs are so short here.Seems like it lasts only about 3 weeks & then hot.

I think it is a Bradford. I used to stand under ours and listen to it 'buzz' (so many bees would be attracted to the blooms).
