The Ornamental Kind

The view from my kitchen sink is a pretty one lately. 
The five-foot tall $15 Bradford Pear Tree that I planted five years ago is beginning to blossom right in front of my eyes...on the second level!
The other two white Ornamental Pears along with the pink Ornamental Cherry trees out in the garden are almost in full bloom.

The sun was about to set so I grabbed my camera to catch the last bit of light.
Before I came in, the garden lights came on and I noticed that the beauty of these trees was not only up above.
It was also down below at my feet on the garden floor!

These delicate blossoms bursting from the rough bark on the trunk of the tree were what really caught my eye.


Simply amazing!
Happy Friday my friends...
