Pittsburgh is Beautiful in Spring

Everywhere you look the trees are blooming and there are lots of spring flowers. Here is a tree bursting out from a tiny patch of dirt between two buildings on a street with blocks of nothing but buildings.

I took this on the way to the oral surgeon. I am better, but not good. This is my sixth day of the antibiotic. My past experience has always been that two days brought great improvement. I had only a little after three days. He thinks he should remove the implant and that will clear up the infection. Then we'll try again. I hate to do it, but I'll probably go along with that. Nasty, nasty.

For some time now, I have thought about making portraits of trees. Here is my first one: in my backyard, the shadow cast by the tree in the next yard.

If nothing else, dear Ruthe, you can comment here under reply, and I can check back. :)

So sorry that implant is coming out.

I'm contracting Google, but it's a convoluted mess.

Even more difficult, have you tried Open Diary?

So sorry to hear about your dental problems. Ouch. I hope they're behind you soon.

[Baileyz]

Checking back. :)

Hope you are doing better today.....

What a bugger! Hope things go better for you this time.
I remember those lovely pink and snow white trees during Pittsburgh springs! And always enjoy yours.
I found myself photographing lots of trees in India this year--nothing special--just limbs against blue skies, sometimes with birds perching in them. Could that have a direct influence of enjoying all your trees and gardens over the past few years?

I find I can't put note on Yum Yum Cafe's blog without a struggle. What I'm doing is clicking on the individual entry. Then when I go to the bottom to leave a note, I make sure I can post a profile....it often says nothing and won't open. Once it's open, I can then leave a note.

As you can see, I'm getting dogged about this. No answer from the help line yet.
