Happy Thursday! We’re on a warming trend here which is nice. Hopefully no more frost!

This beautiful native tree, Cercis canadensis, is a popular tree here. It is so bright and bold in May that it’s not hard to see why.

I was able to visit the magnolia tree at the Civic Gardens and I’m sad to say that it did not do well after the snow we had. But, there is a certain majesty in its approach.

A close look at a White Pine in my garden. I love the way the needles reflect the light.

I took this image before the snow earlier this week and I’m hoping it will still be okay despite seeing many magnolias with their blooms turning dark.
