Sometimes...

...writing eludes me. Tonight, after 300+ miles on the road from 2:30 until 10 pm, I fell promptly asleep. So I write this in absentia.

I love these flowering trees (or bushes -- could someone tell me the difference?) and have wanted to get some pics every time I see one. Today was the first chance I got to capture one, and was generally NOT pleased with what I got. They are complex flower collections to capture, with their white and pink flowers nearly overwhelming the landscape. But man, do they stand out.

Could not figure out what they are either. Not a tulip tree, I've been told. So if you know, offer it up...
