Spring is indeed breaking out, gloriously, in your photo. Julie and I were in Spain for two weeks, last week and the week before. We had a lot of rain, which I presume you did also, so all of the spring flowers have received plenty of water..

Virginia said...

This is gorgeous! I have never seen this tree before. We have mimosas in Alabama but they are different. Happy Spring yourself! :)

Kate said...

Now this really shouts "Spring!" and I'm waiting for its echo!

Sylvia K said...

Oh, yes! It does indeed shout, "SPRING"! Gorgeous, rich color -- looks like sunshine growing on a tree! Superb capture as always, JM! Hope your week is off to a great start!

It's like a burst of sunshine! And that is nice because it is cloudy and rainy here today.

Lois said...

What a beautiful bright shade of yellow! Our mimosa trees are pink.

Halcyon said...

These are different from our mimosas. Ours have pink, fluffy blossoms. We had a big, old one in the yard of the house where I grew up. :)
I'm glad spring is in full force now. Beautiful colors!

I don't think I've ever seen a tree like that one! Perfect for "Mellow Yellow Monday!"

We have mimosa trees here, also. Very beautiful, but I think they can be a bit messy! Lovely spring color!

Randy said...

That is amazing! Love how vivid it is.

That is the flower we call wattle over here. There are over 850 varieties in Australia -- golden wattle is our national flower.
