Just outside the window

This tree sits just outside my window. I think it's actually too pretty for a photograph, it ends up being almost a parody of itself. It looks like silk pretending to be a flower. The tree itself is really beautiful and old-fashioned looking. Almost too dark for spring.

I will comment more, I promise. Barely keeping my head above water here...To London for a week tomorrow to look for lodging for the fall...maybe I will see some blippers...
