In my son's garden.....Gosh! there are more than 50 plants, hedges, and trees in their garden. I can take as many shots as my heart contents. :-))

taken at the Queens Zoo...

Cercis canadensis, the eastern redbud, is a large deciduous shrub or small tree, native to eastern North America from southern Michigan south to central Mexico, west to New Mexico. Species thrive as far west as California and as far north as southern Ontario, roughly corresponding to USDA hardiness zone 5b.

There are 11 of them at this mall, they are in full bloom which takes my breath away!

I love watching the trees in my yard come back to life week by week in the Spring.

Late winter snow on the Finch and the redbuds.

Our Arboretum becomes a magical place in April.

Prairie Warbler.

4/1/2021 the date of this image was a very cold morning here in Georgia and very few of this species had yet to arrive. In fact this bird wasn't singing at all with temperatures hovering around the lower 30's. Today just 5 days later temperatures are in the 70's and this species has arrived in numbers. From one stationary spot we had 4 singing and there was territorial fighting going on.

It is amazing how fast things change during Spring migration.

Fresh redbud blossoms with red azaleas in background.

Light on the path.

The blooming redbud trees are always a welcome sign of spring. They have lots of flowers on the upper branches, but also have little clumps that grow out of the trunks and bigger lower branches like this one.

Red buds - I had a field trip again in my neighborhood today. Took about 300 shots. :-))

The blossoms are busting out on the Oklahoma state tree; the Redbud tree.

Another one from the bird frustration series.
