Eye Candy Friday
The CONTEST is still open, through noon on Sunday, May 11, 2008. Keep those book recommendations coming!
While the contest entries roll in, I'll share a whisper of spring here to brighten your day. And if your weather is as bleak and as drizzly as the gloom sighing down on the Big City this morning, ignore those pouty clouds and take your solace in these wee blossoms. Summer is coming.
I found this bit of loveliness down in the Village, before class one evening. I have no clue what type of flowers these sweet buds might be. They are spurting right out of the gnarled tree bark. Anyone?
Doesn't it look like a bit lilac?

Hmmm, I should be more careful where in the sentence I add something: Doesn't it look a bit like lilac?

It does look a little bit like lilac, but I don't think it is...the flowers aren't really in the proper kind of cluster pattern for lilac. No clue what it actually is though!

That's a LOVELY photo! I wish I could find something that beautiful around here. But not just yet I suppose... Winter has barely left us.
And I don't have the slightest clue of what kind of flowers it might be either. :)

Beautiful and very unusual.

That looks like a white variety of the Redbud Tree.
The old-fashioned red variety is one of my favorite flowering spring trees, and this white variety is very pretty, too.
