I admit I got a kick out of the clouds right behind the tree!
Evening light shows different trees illuminated.

The trees are beautiful, love the blossoms. Take care, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThanks...their bright white blossoms do stand out against the rest of winter branches.
Delete...this turned out to be a terrible tree. I can't count the number of truck load of pears that I sold in my nursery career, I wonderful if they will let me into heaven?
ReplyDeleteOh dear, yes...I think striving for beauty must somehow offset your setting loose the Bradford pear trees!
DeleteI love the clouds above the tree too. Lovely sights there, Barbara.
ReplyDeleteI know, I was tempted to put them in a skywatch list.
DeleteThe trees look beautiful when they're in bloom. Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteThey have become an early harbinger of spring.
DeleteI wonder if the person who planted the tree knew how big it would grow?! It is beautiful
ReplyDeleteGood question. And another nearby one may be dying already.
DeleteBeautiful shots.
ReplyDeleteThanks WiIliam!
DeleteYes, I guess the trees are invasive, but how many other plants fall into that category? I think it is the way of nature anyway to spread new species where it will. And at least these beautify the boring interstates.
ReplyDeleteWhich, I should add, are pretty darn invasive themselves, lol!
DeleteAt least the pear trees are pretty in the woods, highways, not so much!
DeleteBeautiful but thank goodness, I haven't planted any. Though I've made a lot of other bad choices--English ivy for one.
ReplyDeleteOh no, you need an English gardener to go with the ivy!
DeleteI had one taken down shortly after I moved into my house. I never even got to see it bloom, but it was too close to the house, and it was letting squirrels get in the attic.
