Pretty in pink

Furman Park is only a few blocks away from where we live, so I often head to the park to walk the dog or for a little exercise.

One of the things I like about the park is the variety of trees. One of my favorites has been in bloom for a while. It's this amazing pink canopy of color and it's right in the middle of the park. I've decided to call it an Orchid tree for lack of better information.

Not only is the tree a profusion of color, but the ground is blanketed with these darkening pink blossoms that seem to float to the ground as you simply stand and watch. It feels just a little magical.
