Bashful blossoms

There are few blooms starting to pop out in Third Street Park and along Riverside Drive in downtown Macon. There's one tree in Third Street Park, between Mulberry and Walnut Streets (see below), that always blooms early, and it's looking like it will be full of blossoms in less than a week. Most of the others are far behind it, though, and I'm hoping they will hold out until at least the first weekend of the festival.
