They blend in so well with those fluffy clouds in the background.

There's nothing like white flowers against the sky. These are scrumptious.

You often see pink ones, but I love the white. Nice shot.

Oh I do like Crepe Myrtle but it doesn't do well here. It usually doesn't flower because it doesn't stay hot enough long enough. But it sure is pretty. MB

Just a quick one before I drive off west... Crepe myrtles? As in crêpes the pancakes, lol?

Lovely Jacob, you and Lois Anne have a great weekend and week!

Like a snowfall of white blossoms. Beautiful!

Birdman said...

Wow! An explosion of whiteness this morning!

Lois said...

Beautiful! There are some blooming at my grandson's school and when we walk under them I shake one of the branches so he can watch them fall. He calls them snow flowers!

Pat said...

To say those are in bloom is a major understatement! Wow!

Virginia said...

You know it's funny. I just noticed the white ones in bloom all over my neighborhood but the pink and watermelon ones aren't blooming at all. Hmmmm

Ours has been fantastic this year! I think that cold spell we had did something for them. Yours are looking pretty splendid too!

Never heard of crepe myrtles, but I hope they smell as good as they look.

Didn't know their name,
I have to google this I wonder if they are the one giving a nice perfume..
