I have no idea what these trees are, but they are so pretty in bloom; I took this shot a couple of weeks ago, and have since driven by - the flowers are already fading due to our little heat wave; anyone know what they are?

Another grave at the abandoned graveyard we found; most of the graves were simple crosses and rocks to mark where the original grave was, but somebody put some time into preserving this one; I don't know the story behind it, but it is for one Manuelita Guzman, born 1844, died in June, 1916
