The trees in this little wooded area are all twisted, because invasive honeysuckle vines have deformed them. These are black walnuts. You can see the remains of last fall’s seed heads along the tops of the branches.
The weather was amazing yesterday. Sunny and mid-70sF, with a sky full of wispy cirrus clouds.
This was taken on the bike path, when I was walking back from the post office.
I love the bald cypress trees growing in Dunn Meadow.

New Redbud Tree May 2018
The redbud tree on our loading dock died. I wasn’t sure they’d replace it, but lo and behold, they did. And with another redbud, too.

This is the same tree, same day, three years apart. I don’t think we are ever going to get a Spring this year.
You couldn’t ask for a prettier Spring day. Clear blue skies and crabapple blossoms.
The bees are still swarming the flowering flame-leaf sumac.
It looks like the redbud tree by the library loading dock has died.
And suddenly, all the trees are covered in leaves.
I’m surprised the wind hasn’t blown all the flowers off it. The weather has been ridiculous the last couple of days.
