I shot these photos yesterday in downtown Leeds, my hometown. The pear trees were so full of blossom, it looked as if it had snowed. This afternoon it's raining hard, so all the blossom might be gone by tomorrow.

It looks like popcorn! I used to teach kindergarten, and had a song I sang with my kids, called "Popcorn Poppin' on the Apricot Tree". Your pictures bring back memories.
"I looked out my window, and what did I see?
Popcorn poppin' on the apricot tree!
I looked out my window and was so surprised.
Popcorn poppin' right before my eyes!"

Your town looks a little like my town, sans white popcorn trees. What are they?

We have Bradford pears in bloom here! Always the first sign of spring along with the Redbud trees.
