Redbuds and the lake

 

The ever so tiny redbud blooms look ethereal in sunshine.


Terrible shot, but I think this is dogwood blooming by the Fifth Third bank in Black Mountain.


I picked up my lunch around noon, and saw few people that day.

But it was warm enough for runners in shorts going around the lake. I see another redbud waay over on the other shore. I should go greet it and take a few photos, shouldn't I!

Maybe tomorrow...

      Thank you I agree completely – but I have to find those blossoms again each year and maybe make a better photo!

    Red buds don't grow here in NH. Dogwoods don't do well either. Did Black Mtn have a Hands Off Rally yesterday?
