in bloom, mt. tabor

From the archives, wayyy back in February 2008. I never got around to posting these because I didn't -- and still don't -- have any idea what sort of tree this is. If you can identify what we're looking at here, feel free to leave a comment to enlighten me and your fellow Gentle Reader(s).

Thx. Mgmt.

Updated: That didn't take long; these are witch-hazel blossoms! Merci beaucoup to Gentle Reader slugonabike, who passed this along over on the humblr Tumblr. You did know I have a Tumblr site too, right?
