Tree Buds 84:2011

I often park next to this tree at school. It is now bursting forth with buds and I just love these colors! While I was taking pictures after school, some 3rd graders rode up to me on their bikes. It was a beautiful Friday afternoon, about 70 degrees, and they were so excited to see to see a teacher outside of school. We hugged and I took several pictures of them, too.
I took this picture with one of our new school cameras, the Canon A495. I don't know what kind of tree this is, but it is rather small and produces berries.
