We went for a walk yesterday at Fort Steilacoom Park in Lakewood, WA, and there were still blossoms in the black locust trees. It's one of my favorite times of the year at the park, because they smell *so* good to me! They are very interesting trees because their leaves are so delicate and their blossoms are so lovely, and yet their branches carry amazingly sharp thorns (I accidentally poked myself recently, ouch!).

Those thorns do look sharp. Nice shadows on the branch.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting, I didn't realize these trees had thorns. I guess, I never got close enough as you did!
ReplyDeleteTrees with thorns are always a surprise to me. I just recently discovered the lemon tree has thorns.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if this is the tree my neighbor has. Love the blossoms.
