The Long Awaited......

The long awaited first flush of flowers have appeared on my silky oak tree, and what a beautiful vibrant flower they are.

 It has taken six years for this tree to mature enough to offer her first show of flowers.

The flowers are far too high for me to touch, even standing on a chair didn't get me close enough,  they still lingered out of reach. I am hoping that more flowers will begin to bloom lower down the tree. 

The birds are whizzing in and feasting on the flowers and a few squabbles were had, this nectar appears to be too good to share......
