Magnolia, Cherry Blossoms of Spring
This post is all spring blossoms. Enjoy these magnolia buds.
If you walk down North Eighth Avenue in Highland Park, you can see trees in bloom – magnolia trees.
Cherry blossoms are also beautiful.
I love seeing magnolia flowers on the ground with dandelions. The blossoms don’t last – maybe you can see them for two weeks each spring?
Periwinkle with dandelions – this is a different version of the photo I posted yesterday. That post had reflections on recent events; today, I just want to relax among spring blossoms.
What blossoms of spring appear in your neighborhood?
Hannah says
Lovely series! The magnolia trees in the local park are in blossom too.
Leora says
Sounds like you have a similar climate to New Jersey.
Shira Salamone says
Gorgeous shots!
Leora says
Nice to hear from you, Shira!
Lorri says
Your photos are lovely and brought a smile to my face. I haven't had too many smiles, lately, due to the Boston events.
Leora says
Good, that was the intention (the smiles - I need them, too).
Lorri says
I am sure you need them, too. I like the line of trees on the divider...beautiful. I like the blend of magnolia blossoms and dandelions...so colorful.
Carletta says
Beautiful spring captures Leora!
I LOVE those magnolia buds and the cherry blooms - delightful shots!
I didn't know perwinkle could be that color - so pretty!
Leora says
Thank you, Carletta. It's been a beautiful time of year in our neighborhood.
Laura Hegfield says
oh Leora these are so beautiful! I saw the first dandelions pop up yesterday in our garden... I've seen some trees blooming in the neighbor hood... ours are hold outs, but the lilacs are really at the edge of bursting. It is raining today so I know that will help everything:-)
Leora says
I love when the lilacs are in bloom! One of my neighbors has a bush. I should go see.
Carver says
Wonderful spring blossoms. It looks like we were about a month ahead of you in terms of spring.
Leora says
Sounds about right, although two of these shots (magnolia buds and cherry blossooms) are two weeks old; I often save up similar captures for one post.
Karen says
How wonderful to see everything in bloom! Lovely shots. Not much is blooming here yet, spring is late!
Eileen says
Leora, so many pretty colors and flowers. The trees are looking beautiful. Lovely images! Have a great evening and week ahead!
Vicki says
I can almost smell their sweet scent. Thanks for sharing these beautiful blossoms!
Here we still have daffodils and hyancinth, but no flowering trees yet.
