This past autumn we had some of the most spectacular fall foliage that I remember seeing in Northern California. Not to be out done, spring has decided to put on its own show this year. This past week the blossoms have been bursting out in dramatic fashion.
On our way to play tennis this morning, I noticed a particularly striking street lined with pink and white flowering trees. I made a slight detour later today while running errands to walk around and take a few photos.

| I suspect these are either ornamental cherry or plum trees but I could certainly be wrong. |
 |
| The street is lined with these trees and this year I noticed daffodils had been planted, too. |

Here are a couple close ups of the white blossoms and a daffodil. The shear numbers of these blossoms made the trees appear to be covered in popcorn. Seeing the rows of daffodils I was reminded of Daffodil Hill in the Sierra foothills. If you live in Northern California google "daffodil hill amador county". It's a great day trip between mid-March and mid-April.
As usual, I couldn't resist a couple of off beat photos. These were interesting tree trunks that struck my fancy.
