Trees with Jim

I spent part of this morning with my friend Jim.  We share an interest in photography so we went out, despite the drizzle and rain, to take a few pictures of the trees that are blooming around town, he with his Minolta 35mm and me with my Canon.

We talked, or rather he talked - conversations with Jim are pretty much one sided - about cameras, coin and stamp collecting, motorcycle repair, noisy neighbors, roofing work, the situation in the Ukraine, drug busts, the benefits of being in a union, ... ... ...

And I got a couple of nice pictures, so it was an enjoyable morning.The first two are Eastern Redbud and the last is Cherry (I think.  I am not a trained dendrologist.)
