on a bright sunny day this week, bernie and i and the little red car set out on a search for some red flowers, which indeed are really hard to find this cold spring!.
much to our delight we spotted this tree full of pink blossoms down lincoln street!


now this tree was dressed in such a thin dress and even though i did snap a picture of it, we decided we would have to continue to look for one that had a little more style!
taking this picture was no loss though because on niagara street, which is one of the oldest streets in welland there are such classy old houses!


now this was more like it!
on fitch street we found this glorious blossoming tree and although it is a bit on the dark side, the photo doesn't look too bad.



and this was MORE than more like it.
this lovely amply dressed tree is standing beside a red bricked house that has ruby shutters!
how can you beat this house on parkdale and this large pink bouquet for a nice ruby tuesday picture!



now i will tell you the name of this tree.
ever since the golden kids were little, they always called it a tulip tree because don't you think that the flowers look like great big tulips that have decided to escape the ground and fly into a high tree.....lots more fun to abiding with the birds and living so close to the sun?!
the real name of this tree is a magnolia tree.

have a great ruby tuesday mary t and all of your ruby tuesdayers!!!................love terry
