Well, I know these are really late spring, but we have a few more days before summer officially starts and I thought they were so pretty so here you go... Lou and I planted these trees about 16 years ago. They seem massive now. When we first moved here, the neighbors (now hidden by our trees) cut down all the trees between our property and theirs. It gave them a perfect view into our back porch. We remiedied that by planting all the trees you see here with the exception of the few pine trees that were on our side of the fence. The dark looking tree is an ornamental cherry. Next to it, that tall dead tree was an ornamental pear. Both would produce such beautiful blooms in the early spring. The pear died this last summer because of the drought. The blooming trees and the evergreen trees (behind the blooming ones) hide the neighbors place completely. On the front right of the photo is a really unique tree, a cork-screw willow tree we grew from a cutting. Now I can barely wrap my arms around the trunk. Anyway, I thought the blooming trees were so pretty so I snapped these photos. Enjoy.
Cheers,
