Black Mountain

The greening of the mountains from Tanbark Ridge overlook, elevation 3175 feet, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina. The road seen in upper left is the parkway as it continues northeast. Can you see the little houses, including my favorite, the red roofed one?

Blossoms on a grey day


The shape of this tree is not like a Bradford Pear (See this post.)

What are these pretty white blossoms?  I'm guessing a fruit, but they might just be another decorative tree. The grey sky was still a difficult backdrop.  Since they are so early I'm thinking Bradford Pear.  But the shape was more like an apple tree...perhaps it was pruned that way.

Happy Vernal Equinox!

  3. Perhaps an ornamental crabapple?

  4. Judy B...I like your thinking. I'd just been wondering if a crabapple was possible.

So glad to have your comments...whatever they may be. I'm one who likes to reply sometime or another, so others will see that; or you might happen back sometime and see what conversation might have started.
