Spring!!!!

I don't know what kind of blooms these are, all I know is they're awesome.











I do know that these next blooms are called red buds, even though they are the loveliest shade of pink/purple.







I don't know what these are called either. =)





And as always, the bloom of the state tree of Missouri, the dogwood.



(However, it looks so much like a cherry blossom, and I always thought cherry blossoms were at their core pink, not yellow or green...but it also seems like people on Flickr don't know the difference either. So for now I say, dogwood!)

There will be more photos in the very near future, as I took another trip down to Texas and Louisiana last week, and had a really cool day trip yesterday with lots of amazing photo opps. So stay tuned!!
