Surrounded by the beauty of all the spring flowers,
it might be easy for some people to overlook the magnificent trees
growing in Longwood Gardens.
Here are a few of my favorite trees from our trip on Wednesday.
The hubs and I, enjoying the Red Buds!
I'm not sure why they are called "Red Buds", they are clearly purple.
This entry is for my dear friend Theresa,
she has such a love and appreciation for magnificent trees.
T, this one's for you!!

It is wonderful to see the trees in this stage - you get the bare bones peeking through the new foliage or blossoms - the best of both worlds!!! You are ahead of us - no buds on the fruit trees yet, here... ;-(
Love love love! I really like that you stepped back and really got the whole tree - And it's just that point where the color is there, but you can still see the branches and get the wonderful shapes of each tree. If we're choosing, the fourth photo is my fave!
Judy and I think alike, I guess. And we comment simultaneously as well apparantly!
The "buds" are red. We have one in our yard and I'm just waiting for it to bloom. It's late this year. :( The are my favorite tree. Did you notice it has heart-shaped leaves?
awww! i was having a blast enjoying the weeping cherry, the weeping willow, the pic of you and the red buds, then you hit me with the dedication. bless you, dear one. i love you.
Such beautiful trees. I have always been partial to weeping willows.....
Aren't they lovely! We are still waiting for the trees to leaf and flower. Spring is late!
Debbie, I've always wondered the same thing about red buds. They have always been a favorite. I love to see all the beautiful blooming trees. Hugs! Bonnie
The blooming trees are gorgeous!
That is very pretty and I love trees that bloom.
I think it would be so nice to visit that place.
They each have their own unique shape.
The white blossoms are very bright.
Greetings,

Oh Theresa will love them she sure does love her trees. BEAUTIFUL Hug B
They are all stunning! I can see why they are your favorites!
Flowering trees are so lovely this time of year. It's like we are being rewarded for slogging through the winter months. Be-u-te-ful photos Debbie (& Chuck).

i always wonder about that too. why red?? who made that decision. i think it needs to be changed right away. gorgeous settings. nice! ( :
I love the shapes of the trees and the way the blooms seem to be suspended in the air. To me, that's spring. Such lovely photos, Debbie! And a very lovely dedication.
Flowering trees are such a pretty sight after the long winter! We should be seeing some here soon.
Great post. I love seeing all the different trees. I really like the Weeping Willow in your picture.
Oh it looks so pretty there!
Awesome photos, Debbie! These are beautiful trees!
Those are pretty magnificent!
Beautiful series, Debbie! I love all the trees but the willow and redbuds are my favorites. I must try to visit Longwood gardens soon. Very pretty shots!
Lovely Debbie, always enjoy your beautiful pics.
The trees are lovely indeed. I recall some awesome Snowball bushes when I visited.
