Spanish moss and red flower buds

I do not know what type of tree this is but was very taken with the effect of the Spanish moss and the red flower buds together.

I am definitely beginning to feel better and the worst of the coughing and congestion is over but after a month of being sick, my body is struggling to get back to the norm.  It will be a while yet for me to have built myself back up.  As a result, I opted not to attend church today as I did not want to expose myself to any germs/viruses.  It's hard, as I miss seeing folk and I miss the spiritual uplift you get from attending church but I just couldn't handle being sick anymore right now.  

Before the cold front moves in and since the weather was so clear and sunny, Kent and I got outside for a couple of hours this afternoon.  Saw some cormorants, pelicans, turtles and egrets.  It was so nice to be outside and to spend time with my my hubby.
