Spring Trees and a Sunday Drive...

This past Sunday, we did not have any "big" plans.
The hubs needed to stay fairly close to the area, so we went for a drive.
That's always fun around the Jersey Shore,
especially this time of year.

We decided to search for pretty trees and pretty trees we found.











Most of these trees are Tulip Magnolias,
and perhaps a Cherry Blossom or two.
I think the first tree is a Weeping Cherry, but I'm not sure.

Blue Skies, sunshine, warm temperatures, a gorgeous tree, 
matching sweatshirts,
yep, it was the perfect day in Spring Lake!!

I LOVE this time of year, and your beautiful photos show why. (I, too, think it's a cherry willow.)

Muffie said...

I think they're also called pink weeping cherries.

And you managed to capture two Lovebirds in the last one! They are beautiful. The male has the typical blue tail feathers. Not as many around as there used to be.

The trees are magnificent! I love the magnolias.

Sallie (FullTime-Life) said...

The tulip magnolias are beautiful and bring back great oregon memories. Seeing the flowering cherries in full bloom is on my photo bucket list, but it's going to be hard to accomplish that I'm afraid!

Jill said...

I am absolutely in love with the blooms on the trees this time of year, especially the magnolias! Thanks for sharing these gorgeous photos! I think you should frame the picture of you and your hubby! It's great! :)
