Monday, 7:30 AM. Wind SW, light with stronger gusts. The channel is lightly wrinkled. The sky is mostly clear, but the barometer predicts rain.
The wild cherries are beginning to bloom, that pictured being pin cherry, Prunus pensylvanica. It is a shrub to small tree, with flowers in umbels and shiny young bark.
The light red fruit is sour and has a single seed (as do all the cherries). The other wild Prunus species will bloom soon, as will the domestic cherries.
