Showing Its True Colors

Rebecca, my daughter and I have been admiring several of the local trees as well. Love the Cherry blossoms, this time of the year, and thanks for sharing your pear tree.

Such gorgeously striking photo's, Rebecca - a great way to start a Monday!

Rebecca-I love this time of year when trees are just starting to blooms. Wonderful pictures and a handsome accent to the neighborhood. 

Rebecca,

I love the crooked trunk, and it is a beautiful tree.  What glorious colors in both seasons.  Thanks for sharing this. A

Rebecca - the Bradford tree is beautiful in the spring and the fall which isn't the case with most trees. Love your photos showing both seasons and personally, I take the positive over the negative and plant these in my yard!

Rebecca, It is a beautiful tree, I like both shots of the tree.

What a difference the seasons can make.  And that tree proves it!  It would be difficult to say, which of the colors this tree displays is my favorite!

Rebecca, they are pretty trees, but as you suggest they do have issues.  I had a Bradford Pear in my back yard until the tornadoes of last April 27th 2011...I say had because it was snapped off at the base and thrown against my fence.

Rebecca-I love the changing color of the Bradford Pear and it would be worth the risk of splitting to have all that beauty. Excellent pics.

Howdy and evening Rebecca

Rebecca my friend, the Bradford Pear Tree there at the entrance of the Greenbrier Pines Subdivision sure is a mighty fine looking Tree that sure does has character to enjoy along with its mighty fine looking color. I sure can see why you like it so much!

Thank you mighty kindly for taking those two mighty fine photo, and sharing them with everyone.

I hope you don't mind that I took a copy of your top photo, so I could do the blow photo for you.

Have a good one

Rebecca,

Thanks for sharing sucn a lovely tree.  It is beautiful and if it needs a bit of storm shielding, maybe it could have companion wind-break trees?  It is a splendid sight! 

Rebecca ...They are great trees if you thin them out up the middle once a year (they grow so thick that the wind can't pass through) ....Great photos!  Have a great day in WV!

Rebecca - We had those on our property in McDonough GA. I absolutely love them but they don't grow down here--to warm a winter, I guess. They are magnificent in bloom. Great pictures.

Rebecca, I think the Bradford pear tree has beautiful color!    Glad to see you are having spring!

I know I'm two days late, but that is a gorgeous tree Rebecca...............spring and fall.  I just visited a friend last week who planted them all along her driveway two years ago.  You should see them today.........magnificent.  Sure would be nice to be greeted by that every day.
