A flowering tree preparing to bloom several weeks ago. I was busy through the flowering season so, despite my cherry blossom pics, I feel almost like I blinked and I missed it. The best I could do was try to track the development of a tree in the park where I walk the dog, so I just updated my flickr page with a set of pictures that sort of trace the spring blooming of one tree over about five weeks (plus a few other nearby trees thrown in at the end).
