Beauty surrounds us

Beauty can be found where we look. I just left a showing and had my camera, not knowing where to take a photo that would inspire me. Skies were gray. But as I left the community, I noticed these bright pink flowering trees that are so uncommon here. In fact, this is the only place I've seen them. The trunks of the trees look like they have spikes on them. Very odd looking, but what a beautiful flower! It was only after I uploaded it that I saw the bee!
Lovely photo!

Very pretty. I think I saw some bushes like this in St. Augustine and I was wondering what they were. Must be in season.

@bardejov Looks like it might be a Silk Floss tree.

@purdey Thanks, Sharon. The white is the sky. Sometimes I like when there is a strong contrast, or no background.

@bdb3471 thanks so much, Brian! The tree was full of blossoms.
