Our very late crab trees are just starting to bloom. The white ones always bloom first followed by the light pink then the dark pink. They usually bloom about the last 2 weeks of April and the 1st week of May. This April was the 4th coldest in the records for the Chicago area so we have a much delayed spring blooming season as a few white crab trees are just starting to bloom now. My Fx2 for this week - taken in April 2015 - a much different spring.

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

A perfect contrast between colors (the white tones of the flowering crabtree versus the wonderful blue sky), Kathy.
Lovely Foofy Friday contribution!

And there they are again, those beautiful flowers that bloom so quickly but continue to bring spring in every year with the warmest of cheer. Always a great capture. Keep posting Kathy. :)

Looks almost like cotton. Very beautiful against the blue sky.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967
