I was out of  town and was surprise to see the crepe myrtle starting to bloom  so early when I came back. Since then I've been watching some in my neighborhood and they are really getting to be spectacular. Then  I got on the computer and there were some search hits for my  crepe myrtle pictures from last year.   They were looking for different colors.  I guess its time to get the camera  out and to get some fresh photos.  So here are a few of the images to  share taken about a week ago.
     These I took while I was walking.  I just love the colors I see in  them - they're all so different and changing all the time.  Here's some  lovely pink ones.

I was trying to get the bee but it started to fly off before I could get a good photo of it.

  I always love this tree.  A couple day ago it was even more  spectacular than this.  It's still nice to see and I love the street  name its growing by so its worth including the image. 
These are my all time favorites and that's because they are growing in  my back yard and I get to see them as they grow. These were taken on  6-10-12  The color is called Party Pink.  It starts out light pink to  purple and then changes to more purple with time.

That's it for now - if there's more interest in them then I'll get more  as the season progresses and there's more different color trees  blooming. 
I muse:  Since they are starting to bloom so early this year - I wonder how long I'll have them blooming?
