Springtime in Washington

We found a glorious tree blooming on the way to one of our appointments this week & I just had to stop and take a picture of it.

Ian decided he liked it so much he had to have his picture taken in front of it:

Yes, taken with my phone.  Not too shabby of a shot:

Surrounded with some other pretty blooming plants:  

I have no idea what any of these plants are, so if anyone knows, please let me know! Hope you enjoy our little snapshot of spring here.  There are so many trees that are just starting to get their leaves still. Catherine
