Spring time in Georgia - the awaking

Spring time in Georgia started about the last week of February, we started seeing  a little green to the grass. by the 1 week in march  the Bartlett pears trees started coming out on blossom, our drive to our apartment is filled with there flowering pears. they are beautiful, then along the  freeway we say first  white , then purple, pink and yellow creeping our  from the Pine trees.  if you have not seen it, it a Garden of Eden in the Spring time.

This the pear tree across from the  Mission Office. and the pink bushes are coming out in ful force.

Another view as we drive in to our apartments. we live at the bottom and the blossoms were beautiful. there were no leaves on the trees just white blossoms 

this is another view of our drive in our apartment complex

These are the very first blossums that come our. Japanses mognolias 

there is our apartment in the middle of blossoms 

This is what the  trees started looking like see the pink in the top .it was just like popcorn  in the morning it started and by night other popcorn tree joined it. The blossom started about the last week of February.

I need to get the drive to our apartment in order but the view was awesome. and now the end of March there blossom are  gone, and the pink cherry blossums are out and the  trees now have leave in the place of blossoms 

the first blossom we saw  Japanese Magnolia

I know it is hard to see but the purple tree along the road.
