Best display of spring treeness goes to this amazing creature that uses every available surface to celebrate. (For those of you in New York City, this one-of-a-kind tree is in Central Park just north of the Metropolitan Museum in New York.)
*Emily Dickinson, and yes, bees are few.
The answer to my general inquiry about what kind of tree this is: an Eastern redbud. Thank you to Riki Moss who asked the ever resourceful Ember, a landscaper in North Hero, Vermont.
