I like the juxtaposition of new blooms and weathered tree trunks on this palo verde and crabapple tree, respectively.
Photo Memory of the Week
Cloud of the Week
Ladies and gentlemen, meet this week's cloud(s). I stumbled across it while walking to a clematis-site sighting from the previous day. By the time I got somewhere without any intervening tree branches, the cloud and the colours had moved on. Forget carpe diem: this is more like arripe occasionem.

These flowers look like they’re growing out of the trees.
Barbara – That’s what they looked like to me, too. Just a bud of leaves and flowers bursting out of the trunk.
