Buckeye in bloom

While I had my eye peeled for a blooming elderberry today, the only ones I saw were on the other side of Copsey Creek. But on my side, the California Buckeye was in full bloom. Very beautiful and some solace for the appearance of the buckeye when their leaves turn brown in the middle of summer and fall away.
