Blue Skies and Redbud at the Park

It's only early March, but redbud blooms against a blue sky

 over the Valley Grande city park this week. 

Linking to Skywatch Friday 

Morning Has Broken

Morning has broken into springtime pastels. In the foreground, the Bradford Pear is in full bloom. In the background, the redbud lends a lavender hue. (I have always wondered why it is called redbud!)
Now is the time to watch the sun rise and see how it brings colors to life.

Spring!

The first day of Spring finally brings the redbud in bloom and dogwood gradually opening its white crosses. After almost an inch of rain yesterday, the skies are a brilliant blue today, and it's a bit cool! Forsythia and Bradford pear (not shown) are at peak.
