One of the delights of living in the Bay Area comes in February, when plum and cherry trees start to bloom. While most of the rest of the country sits under a blanket of snow, those of us in northern California get a peek of spring.

How about that Magnolia denudata at 1525 Walnut St. in Berkeley? Huge creamy white saucers on bare grey branches, perfectly pruned, in front of Dr. Iezman’s orthodontic office in a grey Italianate house. If anybody wants to take a photo, it would be great to post it.
Maureen: That tree sounds scrumptious. Couldn’t you “assign” someone with a camera to the task?!
I don’t have a camera or cell phone, so maybe someone who reads the post will kindly go take a photo.
This is my absolute favorite kind of tree – Cherry Blossom season is the best time of year! I always find myself taking tons of pictures of perfect pink blossoms against blue skies. It’s nearly impossible to take a bad photo!
This morning on my dogs’ walk, a tree with white blossoms was so fragrant that it stopped me in my tracks. And the dogwoods are starting to bloom, too.
The off-white blooms on a magnolia tree I noticed yesterday resembled eggs perched on the branches!
