April flowers

The weather keeps promising spring and then withdraws into colder nights.  But this encourages the season to be more languorous, possibly requiring a full two months to run through Vancouver's repertoire of flowers.

Fallen Saskatoon Petals

Decades ago, our neighbours planted a Saskatoon tree so that I can see it from my study windows.  It is wonderful year around, but this is the first time I have paid attention to how beautiful its fallen petals can be.  By now, just a few days later, most are gone.

Saskatoon tree blossoms

Peter and Maree kindly planted a Saskatoon tree on their property so that it would be easily visible from my front study.  I have enjoyed watching it develop this April.  The sunshine of the last four chilly days finally brought out the flowers.
