This is a picture of the ornamental plum tree in my backyard. The ornamental plum tree blooms annually in the spring and it is said to be the first blooming tree in the spring. This tree has been in my backyard for almost seventeen years. As children, my brothers and I liked to play around the ornamental plum tree. We used to make tree houses in the tree, and after the blooms fell off, small plums would grow on the tree. My brothers and I would throw these at each other. When I took this picture I used the flash. It seemed to make the tree pop out more. The bright pink blooms contrast well with the dark bark of the tree.
