The other day I mentioned some pink trees and had hoped to snap some photos of it for identification. So, what is it?
Below: A pretty white flowered tree.
 Last year while in San Diego we toured the Birch Aquarium. With some walkin’ energy still remaining, we strolled the grounds of Balboa park – a very massive park. Later that evening we had dinner with fellow gay RVer's at the High Dive. After dinner, Jim and I walked around Old Town. A busy and fun day. Check it out here. |
I applied for a position which went through an employment agency. I got this email back:
Scary stuff. Oh – and not very professional either.
Mindsucker Answer...(drumroll please) It's a DUCK!!
ReplyDeleteOkay sorry...I believe this tree is a Cherry tree. OR it could be a fruitless plum tree. But I think it is a Cherry. It's beautiful!!

Garret- I believe that pink tree may be a cherry tree. The white may be an apple tree. They look like the ones we had at the National D-Day Memorial. Harold
ReplyDelete@Harold: Welcome! What a surprise!
ReplyDelete@Sharon: Thank you. You make 2 for Cherry. :-)
Yeah, well, I arrive promptly in time for cherry popping then.
ReplyDeleteIn response to your knife question:
Serrated knifes are OK for cutting some types of meats, but only when they are cooked and well rested.
A general purpose knife-and the one I use for nearly everything-is the Henckel Professional S Series 10" Chef/French knife. It is expensive but it's pretty badass.
Garret, I'm voting for a Dogwood tree.
ReplyDeleteIf you find out, let us know.
We had a weeping cherry tree (it died after 20+ yrs)...and the blooms didn't look exactly like what you have pictured so that's why I say Dogwood.

I was going to say cherry tree too, although I wouldn't know a cherry tree if it came up to Casa Hice, rang the bell, introduced itself, and shook my hand.
ReplyDeleteBut I do know that cherry blossoms are pink. Your pink blossoms look different than cherry blossoms tho. Almost Camelia like. I'll do a little investigating and see if I can figure it out for you. Because, after all, once the laundry is washed down at the lake, what else do I have to do?
@Chef: I love Henckel. We have steak knives and a general set from Henckel but seems the only knife we're missing is a non-serrated knife.
ReplyDelete@Mark: Chef would have popped your cherry tree.
@Alix: You have 2 hilarious comments in your uhhhhh comment. Who's helping you? You're simply not smart enough to come up with such zingers.
Garret and Chef Green:
ReplyDeleteWusthof 7-inch Santoku is the only way to go (unless it comes in a nine-incher. It's all about size, you know). I spent one mortgage payment on a whole set of Wusthof Grand Prix knives, but use the Santoku almost exclusively.
PS: I'm going to Comment Night School, Garret. Glad you noticed an improvement.
I'm going with a type of flowering plum. It's definately not a dogwood or crab apple. And cherry trees are useually more broad.
ReplyDeleteAlix, the dryer I just purchased today was 1/3 of my mortgage payment.
ReplyDeleteI'm reminded of the cherry blossoms at the cherry blossom festival in Washington DC each year. Not that I've ever been there but I've seen pics. :)
