The snowstorm ended and the pink blossoms are still here

The title is literal, not metaphoric. At least not intentionally.

You can browse through my Flickr photostream to see the other springtime snow photos I took this morning in my front yard after the sun was out, the skies were blue, and the snow started melting.

I was pelted repeatedly with wet, melty snow chunks that were falling off the trees while taking these photos. I hope you appreciate my sacrifice.

The green tree in a couple of the photos is the budding maple that is also in our front yard. These pink-blossomed trees are some sort of cherry or plum. They produce either huge cherries or under-watered plums, we’re not sure.

But it won’t be long until the birds start pooping purple on our sidewalk and driveway, I’m just sayin’.
