The arrival of warmer weather and a little rain has caused the trees to explode. What once was their little secret is now open and visible to all. One of the other things I noticed about spring is the number of mulch people use. There is a parking lot in our neighborhood overflow parking for the clubhouse, and easy access parking for the tennis courts (although most people just park on the street for the tennis courts making it harder to drive that section of the road). That lot, which is roughly 20 yards by 60 yards was filled with mulch by our neighborhood association. The mulch that they would be putting all around the outside areas of our neighborhood.
That meant there was a lot of mulch. One of the twins is allergic to the mulch, so we had to walk a slightly modified route while they were laying the mulch down.
It looks nice and all, but the impact on the twin made it less beautiful and more annoying.
Anyone can join the photo challenge. Look at something, grab your camera, cell phone or sketch pad and share!
They are very beautiful. Spring is a tough season for people with allergies
It is, the twins have opposite allergies. One sneezes in the spring and the other in the fall.
That is too bad about the allergy to mulch. I have seen some starting to use an alternative to mulch. Some us e cedar shavings, some pine straw. Too bad everyone is not doing this for your benefit.
The tree is stunning but the way, lovely color. The neighborhood is starting to get color!
Yes the neighborhood is coming to life. SO far this spring 11 roofs replaced! Does sprouting new roofs count as a spring activity? 🙂
Wow that is a lot of roofs. Our neighborhood went through that awhile back with all the wind damage,
Two more sprouted plus outs, we are up to 14. All on the northern facing side of our neighborhood.
People want the ascetic more than anything, the twins just grin and keep walking!
Ha! Great attitude they have.
Attitude they have a plenty. Pick up after themselves, not so much!
Wonderful painting, I like trees in the spring
That one (the redbud) bloomed a lot later than the others (as expected) but is beautiful!
That’s an excellent shot! I love the colours of tree blossom! Perfect!
Thank you so much! It is a really pretty tree and I got lucky with the shot~
