Spring around home territories

 

Pale morning colors of spring...the dogwood not yet open...but just wait!

April 12 gave surprise rain late in the day with a cold front. But these dogwoods perservered!

And the sun came out on Saturday, along with wind continuing, but not as strong as Friday.

The wind catching a late weeping cherry tree.

Caught these dogwoods about to burst forth


A huge mural in the Black Mountain Center for the Arts lobby asks one to consider the native oak to the non-native ginkgo tree. Small questions are posted within the mural.


Redbud trees still blooming

At the entrance to the medical building and YMCA facility, as well as new homes built higher up the hill, sits this forlorn trolly. This is Jane Jacobs Rd. off Rt. 9 in the village of Cheshire. It's just down the road from interstate 40 and Black Mountain town center.



This disease-ridden old pink dogwood continues to have some blossoms, outside my front door.

More flowers in the neighborhood coming soon!

At the foot of the hill

 

This is the weeping cherry tree at the foot of Beech St, and look at what's around the ground beneath it!  Taken on Aug. 10, 2013.
