Agree.

the pear trees around town are blossoming!

I saw this gorgeous tree at work today:



And these flowers:

All this color! I'm jealous. It's still too cold here in the North East US for anything to bloom. That won't happen until next month.

well I live in texas, so spring comes a little early xD

Great photos!

I'm in Kansai at the moment, and it's sakura season. Sorry for the quality and size, it's the only pic on my phone, as I can't dump my camera pics over here and photobucket's editor is impossible to use on a phone. I'll have lots more cherry blossom pics when I get back.

Is that a bottlebrush, meowzbark?

Looks like Brittle-bush?



These are all SO amazing on this page thanks to everyone for sharing!!!

Point and Shoot Camera misbehaving, but I hope to go to DC this weekend to admire some Cherry Blossoms. Use my cell camera. Maybe I'll have some to post when I get done...

And depending on what my dad says about my paying back money he loaned me, maybe have a new Nikon DSLR before long...

Nice sunset tonight

Thanks to everyone who keeps posting photos.

Agree.

I like the top bird too. Is that a type of pigeon? The green on the wings is beautiful.

LadyV, could you list their names? Very nice pictures. Thanks!

Love the birdies, LadyV.

I believe the bottom one is a type of pheasant, but I'm not sure which one.

Someone is popular!

And the photos were gorgeous!

Thanks Lady V. This may sound like a stupid question, but what is the difference between a pigeon and a dove? I always thought of them as the same thing.

doves are usually pure white o.o
