The smoke trees here in our valley are blooming right now and I stopped one afternoon last week to take some photos of them. The usually-gray trees and now covered with dark blue flowers. And, these flowers attract hundreds of bees! I could hardly get close enough to take the close-up photos! ACK! As I recall, they do not bloom for very long, so I'm glad I stopped to take these pics.

Cool looking tree and the purple blossoms are pretty. I really love the last shot!
Wowza! It looks like smoke, that's for sure!
I'm glad you stopped to take these pictures also. Just a beautiful blooming tree. So many lovely things growing in the desert.

Purple blossom
These trees against the desert landscape and ultra-blue sky are fabulous! We live near Palm Desert and enjoy seeing these in bloom when we are at the desert.
Wow...never seen those. They do look like smoke!
