When does it end?

Hopefully not soon!  Highland Park  is a wealth of  beauty.  And, with temperatures expected near 70 this weekend, there will be even more to share.

The tulips are just beginning to strut their stuff. This purple/pink is magnificent.  I love how the purple flares up from the base of the flower ... I want to be the artist that creates that affect!

 Who can tire of the sharp contrast of the blossoms, and the wood of the branches and trunk?

As I looked up, it seemed like I was looking through pink lace. So pretty.

I love the magnolias.  The early bloomers where burnt by the frost.  I keep praying that these mid season blooms are spared the "bite".  

Walking back to the car, I glanced over at a hillside patch of grape hyacinths. My thought ... lovely way to end my day's journey through the park... this day's journey at least.  Wonder what this weekend's journey will bring.  Stay tuned!
