I'd say Molly is correct that it is a Ceanothus. There are a number of different species and some of them grow to tree size.

I have three and the one which grew tall, like a tree, almost died: this winter we had a week at -18 C
The two smaller ones didn't care about the cold too much, just few branches are gone
A photo from last year, June.

P.s The bloom scent is pure honey 💗

Thank you for sharing that @katbel ; I live in the Pacific Northwest and used to garden quite a bit when I was younger but had never seen any flora such as this. Thank you all that contributed to my curiosity!

I agree there! There's one not far from home, and taking photos is no issue, too. Sadly, we had too many late frosts for many of the flowering ornamentals. The lilacs were toast (except our later blooming French variety), and the redbuds were sparse. Got warm too soon then hit the mid-20s in early April.

Northern Cardinals are one of the few birds who make good models as they just naturally know how to pose.

Gee, time sure flies as I remember that horrible event as if it were yesterday.

Finished a roll of film last week that I started last summer. Now I'm ready for the beach again.

That's a beautiful shrub and a lovely photo. Some of them are native to California while some are from further north and more used to the cold. -18°C is COLD though!

Drive thru and get your buzz on here! If the espresso doesn't do it, their paint colors will!
