It's that time of year again when the Vietnamese Cherry tree is in full bloom. I'm not sure it is a Vietnamese Cherry....that's just a name I give it. Gotta call it something!
Just beautiful for two or three weeks every year and afterwards, it just fades/blends in with the rest of the trees around it.
It is not necessarily a sign of Spring because there have been times when Winter weather returns after it blooms out. Some plants just have a biological clock it seems.

Beautiful image! Does it fruit or is it ornamental?

Such a beautiful photograph of this delightful tree....well worth it, even for just two or three weeks of the year!! That particular shade of pink is just gorgeous!!

No fruit Jo. We have Wild Cherry trees here, but nothing bigger (fruit wise).

Thank you Barbara. There was a time when I shot everything using a tripod, but the image stabilizers in cameras now are very good. I'm pretty steady until I get a camera in my hands. Probably a hold over condition from my youth when my Mother emphasized the importance of holding the camera steady while pushing the shutter button. TRYING to be steady is what causes the "shake". The "mind" gyro's work only when we don't consciously interfere!!!! :-)))

Breathtaking so Sini. I photograph them every year because I can't help myself, despite having several "on file."

Ada, almost everything in nature is perfect isn't it??? Even the imperfections!!!

Wijnie, I agree. The blossoms are small, but there are so many in each cluster!

Larry these are really gorgeous!
Don't worry - I take a lot of plant, tree and flower photos every year, & I only know what about 5-10 of them are! :-)

Stunning colors of these flowers. Lovely lighting and love the blue sky that enhances
the beauty of them. Great composition.
