They're crepe myrtles, Earl, and can be trees or shrubs depending on the variety. They're very popular here on the coast. Lovely shots of these.

Colorful Crepe Myrtle shots, Earl. I used to have one.

I saw these for the very first time when I visited Baton Rouge a couple of years back. They are beautiful. There would be entire neighborhoods filled with them - and they were in full bloom.

these are lovely pictures, Earl. I wish I could have gotten some close-ups.

Earl, Donna ID them for you. We have Crepe Myrtles in NC and i have not seen one this beautiful but then again I have not looked hard for them. In NC we consider them a shrub but a lot of the neighbors also call them trees. Thier trunks are awesome themselves.
