Trees in Bloom

This lovely cherry blossom is in a garden just along the road (or it was, after this evening's thunderstorms it may not look so good..,)

This morning I photographed these rather lovely cones..

..and presumably these are the flowers which will form the next crop of cones..

On Saturday in Harper's Ferry, I photographed some dark pink blossom..

This seemed to be cherry blossom too.

The inappropriately named red bud trees (actually pink to purple) are now coming into flower in gardens and on roadsides.  They are very pretty trees.  The blossom comes before the leaves and grows directly out of the branches and twigs.
