    You have that right, Beverly! I'll have to. Now the above tree is just covered with seed pods... They don't have these trees in New Jersey, where I lived the first third of my life.

    The redbud is the Oklahoma tree. We have so many here and they are beautiful. You had better take one with you to Nebraska! Beautiful pictures.

    I live in Roanoke, VA and these are always the first to bloom in Spring. Love the pics.

    Pretty :-) My family lives in Virginia, so I visit either in the spring or fall when I can see beautiful trees like you've captured here.

    Lovely photos, Vince. I took pics of my own redbud and apple trees in bloom. I need to edit and put them up.

    I love it when these trees flower every spring.

    Great capture on all the photos, Vincent. I'm with you, I like the native varieties.
