spring -- pretty in pink...

When I left the CA southland a couple of weeks ago to head for the greener pastures of my native Michigan, I was sad to leave behind the beautiful purple glory of the jacaranda trees in bloom. I haven't been in my home state in late May for many years and did not anticipate the colors which were awaiting me...

Spring was decked out in all its pink glory!
...so very pretty in pink...

There were quite of few of these beautiful pink trees, and I just could not get my fill of them. I'm not sure what exactly they are, but I believe they are some sort of fruit tree--maybe a crabapple?

All I know for sure...

is that they were most lovely, indeed...

and my mom patiently waited many times in the van...

while I stopped and leaped out for "just one more picture!"

Ahhhhh... so wonderful!

And, these are just the PINK ones!

Tomorrow... the ravishing reds...
