Thanks! It's a Cherry Blossom tree. I planted it 30 years ago when it was abut 6 ft tall. Here is a picture of the blossoms.



I thought maybe a crab myrtle tree, but when I think about it of course it’s a Cherry blossom. You must feed it well, it’s stunning!

What a lovely gift, Larry. These kinds of shots are so hard to compose and process attractively. Almost like someone knew just where to place it for an eye like yours to share it with the world...
