Cherry's time is past, crabapple's time has arrived

The cherries all are past their peak, but the crabapples are just coming into theirs.  The 3 crabapples on 14th Street near Hutton are in full flower.  The crabapples near my office are not all flowering, but there are more flowers than closed buds.

The two sugar maples on the north side of the alumni house that are not as far along as many other trees, including some other sugar maples:

The Callery pear are blooming enthusiastically


Plenty of leaves on these Japanese maples
