Waking up to go to the cemetery isn't always a walk in the park, but this helps a little:

Golden Rain Tree
The yellow clusters of Koelreuteria flowers gave way in the summer to balloon-like green pods...
which all turned brown a couple weeks ago.

Pear
Pears are in the genus Pyrus. The pears we eat come from trees in this genus, but most of the pear trees planted along streets and in gardens are just decorative. The fruit they make is very small and probably not very tasty.
Stinkier than a ginkgo? I'm not sure which tree's scent is more repulsive. The pear has deceiving looks. These globular panicles of white flowers draw you towards the trees, promising beauty and lightness... and then the stench hits you.
I like the contrast of the immature purple anthers against the white petals.

Spring is here...
After a long hiatus (involving a long trip to Houston and several more months of living a semi-nomadic lifestyle in Brooklyn), it's time to dust off the cobwebs and get back to Green-Wood Trees.
Spring is just about here. The snowdrops were starting to bloom last week.
Leaves were no obstacle for the snowdrops. The shoots poked holes right through them.
Daffodils, scilla, camelias, and even a cherry tree were also in bloom.
