Scenes from the road...

Shot 3/2. Those burgundy red splotches in the trees on both sides of the road are the blooms of the red bud maple trees. Also known as Eastern Red Maple and/or Swamp Maple. I've never seen one for sale in a plant nursery, but they sure are plentiful in the wild around here. More on this tree here - http://namethatplant.net/plantdetail.shtml?plant=14

This is a great road shot, with that parade of trucks on the other side.
You sure do have your selection of trees!!

We have many budding out like crazy here in North Georgia.

@kvphoto I love to see them on the road. Mine has finally started to bloom, but no cedar waxwings yet.

@marlboromaam the cedar waxwings are beautiful... I’ve never seen one here.

@kvphoto They eat the blooms of the red bud maples. Had no idea until I saw it with my own eyes. https://365project.org/marlboromaam/my-2nd-365/2021-02-28

@marlboromaam I remember seeing that shot... so awesome. It is surprising what birds eat.

@kvphoto LOL! It is. =)
