Now It's Truly Springtime

The first Bradford pear tree has popped its buds and brought out its beautiful blooms. What a welcome sight - and will be lovely for about 2 weeks and then smell something awful! (but only for a few weeks before it all leafs out). Love the little touches of pink to their stamens. I'm lucky to have many of these trees in our area.
