In late spring, elm trees drop these petals. They are ecru, and delicate, and lovely. They make a soft rustling noise that I love. On windy days, they fall from the trees like rain. They cover the ground for blocks around the Public Garden in May, because the south side of the Garden is lined with majestic elms. If I ever got married, I would want these to be thrown instead of rice or flower petals.

Elm Tree

Public Garden, May 2008

The row of elms on the south side of the Public Garden are my favorite trees. They are tall and grand, give tremendous shade in summer, shed those lovely rustling ecru petals late in spring (more on which later), and make elegant shapes with their snow-covered branches in winter. This is one of them in early May, before the petals dried and fell like sweet-sounding snow.

One Red Tulip in a Bed of White Ones

Public Garden, May 2008

I love the way the white ones glow in the sunlight. This day was an almost absurdly beautiful spring day, especially in the Public Garden, where the swan boats were out, and all of the flowers and flowering trees were in full bloom. I walked over the bridge on the middle path of the park, and just past the end, a branch reached out over the path. On the branch sat a robin, singing out to everyone who passed. It was like a cartoon it was so lovely and springy.
