I don't know what it is, actually. It's not mine.

The family it belongs to just planted it in the last month or so.

They grow wild here in Texas, plus people plant them in their landscapes as well. The flowers bloom before the leaves emerge.

These have been "corrected" as much as I could. You should have seen them before!!!

You are too kind. And I truly appreciate it.

Whatever would we do without your colorful and artistic nature photos to make us smile!

That reminds me of our crabapple tree, which won't be looking like that until May, unfortunately.

Looks like a beautiful Eastern Redbud to me too. Redbud tree flowers come out before the leaves.

Thanks Peggy for posting your photos.

A burst of color.

It rained all day yesterday and this morning woke up to a blanket of snow.

I'm so glad these were what you needed! I"m still embarrassed at my mistake.

Snow. I can't even imagine.
