Friday Tree Fur All

Welkhome to Friday Tree Fur All!
A red bud starting to bloom...
This was taken right akhross the street from where this week's Walkin' Wednesday segment khonkhluded...
Some of the training trees!
The entrance view...
Some of the snow!
Chekhkin' out the snow!
Khlosing in on the end of khlose up opps...
We decided to shoot some pikhs from the opposite side...looking bakhk at the street...
Still pretty!
Bakhk towards The Khlub's patio...a weeping cherry...
DifFURent vantage point again...
So hard to stop taking pikhs!
Up khlose again!
Under the tree....
Looking out of the shade...
A magnolia akhross the street from The Doggy Nanny's...
Yellow!
Red...
Oh yes!
Anyone watching me?
Our sour cherry tree buds...
Still tight....
Some have asked about the cherry trees I've been featuring...they do not bear fruit...I think they are Y O S H I N O cherry trees.
The Doggy Nanny has one that does bear fruit...they are a sour cherry - probably a Montmorency or Morello. All types of khreatures enjoy them: skhwirrels, birds, khats, and bipeds! Mom's paternal grandmother (she's the one that khame to Pawsylvania from Rugby England) had sour cherry trees in her bakhkyard in Norwood which is where my mom's dad grew up. It is a favourite childhood memory of June/July fur my mom...they pikhked cherries then her dad made sour cherry pies and her grandomother would stew some. Mom rekhreated the stewing a few years ago...she was in heaven!
******
Mom hit the site and saw Mom/Dad off the nest BUT the shot was the far angled one AND by the time the khamera refreshed, Mom/Dad was bakhk! I guess she/he went out to stretch their wings since as woo may have noticed from the above pikhs, it was a beaWOOtiful day!
******
And from Wooshington State, The Eagle wants to know if this is their best side?
******
Happy Friday AND Happy Almost Weekend!
Please khome bakhk tomorrow! We'll have a little surprise fur The Overland Park Pakhk!
Hugz&Khysses,
Khyra

The cherry blossoms are so beautiful and I think they must smell sweet too!

We have a flowering crab that gets little crabbie berrys on it and they sit on the tree all summer, fall and through the winter.
In Spring, the birds can't eat them fast enough. Funny, yes?

Kisses,
Stella

Beautiful trees there! Do they make you sneeze?

Pippa said...

Khyra there are more photos of trees than there are of you. I think you need to remedy that. Misery thinks they are very pretty but I think you are prettier.

Mochi and Bali said...

PS...I have not been able to steal dad's card. I think he read my blog and is on to me!

Woo, such beaWootiful pictures, I am sure my Mommy would take just as many. Our trees here are still doing the dropping of the leaves, every spring the new leaves come out and the old ones fall off, kind of like your fall. It is strange. Daddy is up north this weekend,in upstate NY so we are home alone with mommy, I am sure he is enjoying the cold weather!
-Kira The BeaWootiful and Scampi too!

Martha said...

Hi Khyra
Lovely pictures of the cherry blossom trees. We took some of the ones we have in the garden yesterday and will post soon. We have some others that will not flower until May but are now in bud.
They cheer you up they are so pretty - great shot of your tail too Khyra.
Keep your eye on those eggs for us.
love
Martha & Bailey xx

The Japanese cherry trees do not bear fruit and their full name is "Somei Yoshino." Their appeal lies in the fact that the blossoms are gone in a short time, so they are reminiscent of how life goes by quickly. The Japanese have wonderful cherry-blossom viewing parties under the trees in full bloom, in which they drink, eat, sing and dance. It's a great tradition!

PS: #1 goes on a bit about such things, having lived in Japan for 20 years. Please forgive her...

Your Friends,

All the blossoms are beautiful, even the tulip and the daffodil. But the prettiest one is the one with the fluffy tail at the tip:_

Hmmmmm, wonder what that surprise could be? Phantom wants to know if it is his puppy?
