Our lilacs bloom a bit earlier in late April or early May. We had snow in April and I was afraid we'd lose some this year but all was good! I'm glad those boys didn't pursue the elusive lure. Maybe they should spend more money on fishing lessons than lures so they don't lose another one in a tree!

Here in Breckenridge the aspen leaves will soon be lime green - but not yet! Lilacs are some of my favorites - they bloom such a short while but give off such heady scent. The willows are so graceful - both branches and leaves. The maple is just gorgeous. You've shown some beauties in your post on spring trees. Enjoy the rest of your spring before it becomes summer.
