Pretty Pear

Spring has finally sprung! Winter seemed long & brutal; but, now the birds are chirping, the temps are climbing, and blooms are popping up everywhere...

 

the pear trees in our yard are plentiful with their perfectly clustered petals.  And nothing says "Spring" to me like these trees do.

 

The birds love the pear trees as much as I do...hopping about from branch to branch...hidden among the dense leaves that appear when the petals drop.

 

Yes, the pear tree blossoms are so pretty.  But their pungent scent...not so much!  If you feel the urge to bury your nose among these flowers...beware...the smell will take your breath away.

And not in a good way!

 

Some beauty is best appreciated from afar.

 

 

"sweet spring is your time is my time is our time

for springtime is lovetime and viva sweet love"
