Hi Henry
This is what we call Acacia Konstantinople or Gule Birsim in Turkish. A really beautiful tree whose flowers make a really nice smell

I have this tree growing at home - it is a Silk Tree / Albizia Julibrissin. Other names are pink or silky acacia and mimosa tree. It is native over much of Asia.

Very good shot of the flowers Henri. They are so pretty when new, but they make an awful mess once they fall off the tree. Our tree looks so good in summer - it gives us lovely shade from the sun.

Well captured
Janice
