Spring blooms are everywhere. To find a photo which shares this with you I took a walk Thursday evening and found this tree in Cleveland Park. What attracted me to the photo was the park bench. It must have been time to take a rest because I sure enjoyed the bench.

It is a lovely place. I would have enjoyed stopping and resting on that bench too!
How lovely! I can hardly wait till we have scenes like that up here!

That respite would be a very restorative one, sitting amidst the blooms, out of the sun, feeling the breezes (light ones, I imagine). Simply lovely.
Annie also has a photo of spring blooms. They are such a welcome sight, aren’t they? A wonderfully uplifting photo to remind us that there is life after winter.
Hi Denton, I must tell you there are nice flower trees in Shanghai as well, I suspect there are some species of cherry blossoms as well though I’m not 100% sure :-) also, I like your bachelor dinner photo and of course, I like your dinner too!
Beautiful blooms! Spring is in full force over in Alabama, too.
LavenderLady, yes the walk was pleasant and the rest was wonderful.
Pat, Spring takes a little longer to reach Canada however it gets there and I assume is appreciated even more than it is in the South.
Annie, your photo of Spring color was very good as well. I think your green leaves may have arrived a little earlier than us.
Kate, yes Spring is great however the heat of Summer is next.
Lisi, I started to comment on the possible origins of exotic flowing trees maybe coming from the “far east”. Then I realized I have no idea what I’m talking about so I will simply say thank you for your kind comments.
RamblingRound, yes I think South Carolina and Alabama have very similar climates. South Carolina’s weather maybe affected a little by the ocean and the Appalachian Mountains. However, based on my travels to Huntsville my impression is that our weather and seasons are very similar.
I love this picture!!! Just beautiful!
Gorgeous photo!
