I wasn't going to start putting the shrub pictures up until they are in full bloom. But I rode past the bush that had the very first flowers that I saw and the white flowers are gone. This reminded me of how brief this burst of color is. And there is also the issue of whether I will be back past these trees again before the bloom is over.
So here is a pair of trees on the regular route in Shoreview. I have seen them more beautiful but they look pretty good today.
I thought that was it for today but then as I rode through the farm campus on the way home I came upon this large bed of tulips. Upon reflection I believe that the intent here is that these tulips be viewed as maroon and gold, the school colors. I must admit to me they look mostly yellow and red. But here they are anyway, Goldy's Tulips.
Sharp eyed observers may notice a return appearance by one of the cow statutes in the upper left corner of the photo.AC Milan proved too big an obstacle for Manchester United, winning today 3-0 in Milan. Milan's Brazilian superstar Kaka had the first goal after scoring both goals for Milan in last week's 3-2 loss in Manchester and may well have clinched European Player of the Year and maybe even World Player of the Year.
Liverpool v. AC Milan in the final, I believe May 23 in Athens. Manchester United and Chelsea still have two big games against each other, May 9 at Chelsea in the penultimate game of the regular season, and May 19 in the FA Cup final at the newly reconstructed Wembley Stadium.
