Don't you love SPRING? Well, I used to suffer from severe allergies, which wasn't a rosy picnic, had got allergy shots for over 30 years, at one time, 7 shots every week. Until 13 or 14 year ago, I finally got immune from it. Perhaps a little sneeze during the season for me now. Yep, I was allergic to almost everything, pollen was my #1 enemy. They said, wearing the masks help prevent from getting allergic reaction,. :-))
The Mexican Plum Trees are blooming beautifully now in Texas. The flowers only seem to be there a few short days.

These are the only plum flowers that were fully blossoming at Kaiakuen Garden in early February. The website says ten percent of the plums on the three-hundred hectare premise were blossoming but that wasn't true. Kairakuen Garden is one of the three renowned Japanese Gardens, along with Kourakuen Garden and Kenrokuen Garden. The silhouette in the background is Kobun-tei House, a traditional Japanese-style house built on the premise. It offers a house tour.
偕楽園の梅の花(水戸市)
雲一つない快晴の碧空バックに陽光を浴びた白梅が輝いてました。「桜切る馬鹿、梅切らぬ間抜け」と言われますが、この樹は剪定が行き届いて花付きが良い梅なんですが、その代わり小枝が多くて多くて💦・・超苦手な撮影対象の一つです💦
