Well, it's obvious in our area/Northwest Coast that it's cherry trees, (there is a brief automatic slideshow. Let me know if it works. Wordpress just added this feature.) Of course, there are tulips, etc. But the sheer number of cherry trees here is not typical in other Canadian cities in eastern and central Canada.

However there is a part of me that misses sight and spring scent of lilac bushes and trees which are frequent in southern Ontario. I still have a strong memory of cycling out in the countryside and going by a whole row of gigantic lilac bushes. This is well over 10 yrs. ago. But I never stopped to take photos at that time. I was too focused on pumping up the snakey hill.
