Spring in Southern Arizona - III

Continuing with all the flowers that are currently blooming here at The Azure Gate, we come to Trees. We have lots of Trees on our property including two very large aleppo pine trees, more than 100 each of mesquite and palo verde trees, some unidentified fir trees, 15 or so each of desert willows, eucalyptus, and bottle brushes; and a small sample of Arizona White Oak and Rocky Mountain Elderberry trees. And, there are a variety of fruit trees and shrubs as well. (I'll do those tomorrow).   Not all bloom and those that do don't all bloom here in the Spring. But, they sure are colorful when they do bloom. Here are some examples from photographs I've taken here at The Azure Gate in the past week:
