Black locust tree in bloom. Robinia pseudoacacia. Whenever they’re in bloom you can hear the cedar waxwings high in the branches nipping the flowers off at the back to steal the nectar. I’ve walked through the woods this time of year but in other years and had blossoms showering around me, their sweet heady scent filling the air, like a preview of paradise.
