The First Apricot Blossom

This is the first blossom in the orchard next door, so I leaned as far over the fence as my ribs will allow and took a photo of it.

Soon, the orchard will be buzzing with hundreds of bees, and the sun will have to filter through the leaves. I like this time of year when I can still see the fig trees on the other side and the birds in the branches.

oh wow! all our trees are still asleep, hiding from the cold and the snow, it will be a few months before they wake again

Blossom already, how soon spring arrives. I totally agree with you about the joy of seeing the birds in the branches and I love to see the structure of the trees too. Every season has its merits.

Always great to get a blossom photo when they first arrive. Beautiful veins and a slight blush of colour!
