Wild Blossoms

One of my favorite blossoming trees is a species of our national tree, the Maple. According to Wikipedia there are 128 species of this tree but I am quite confident that the one pictured above is a native of this area. It's a Big Leaf Maple (Acer macrophyllum). Its fresh green leaves and rich hanging bunches of tiny flowers seem particularly characteristic of spring here.

Nice to see, our Spring is on hold as it is snowing this morning.

Maples are so gorgeous, esp in the fall.
