It is a flowering tree, Chris, attaining a height of 60-80 feet. The
ones that Ric Carter and Tina have are too tall to reach the blooms
unless, as Tina suggested, one uses a drone camera. Fortunately, mine
are not yet that tall.
I'm not sure why the second image would not be ok. On my screen, they
are similar.

That’s a lovely flower (if it is a flower, Jim). The first shot has come out
better for me, somehow.

Both Ric Carter and Tina have mentioned the blooms of the Tulip Poplar tree
recently, so, having two such trees, I went out to see what I could find. The
smaller tree had none, but the larger tree has more than in previous years, so
I assume that they bloom more as they get older. Compared to Magnolia blooms,
they are much smaller and harder to see, but the pastels are quite pretty.
Two blooms among the leaves:
