Snapshots from the Park...

...taken on this morning's walk.

A new little tree - with blossoms! (And at its feet
a patch of rather pale and ghostly-looking blooms.)
 

Here are the blossoms up close. Some sort
of ornamental fruit tree, perhaps?
 

Maple samaras in bright clusters on the pavement.
("Samara" is such a lovely and exotic-sounding word.)

A flowering crab reaches rosy arms to the sky.

I'd like to climb right in amongst those blossoms
and just sit for a while  - but the tree isn't
big enough, and my schedule doesn't allow for it.

Aren't they lovely?

A tiny, unidentified yellow wildflower
just opening up in the grass...
 

...with another patch of the
ghostly-looking, fuzzy grey
flowers nearby.
 

Beautiful Spring.
