Nop, it's early for cherries. It's plum.

I'd lean more toward crabapple myself.... But, whatever it is, the macro work is excellent =)

Gergana says it is plum ;-)

It is Prunus cerasifera, in Bulgarian "dzhanka" :), common names cherry plum and myrobalan plum.

Usually they are the first trees blooming in spring here, in Bulgaria. Almost same time as almonds, rather early in March. Unfortunately, now we had a cold week, started with almost 50 cm of snow and all flowers look miserable :( These were the last pictures I succeeded to take.
