This year the crabapple trees are literally covered in beautiful, mildly scented blossoms that are a joy to behold.
A nearby public garden has about 20 of these trees.
A recent bit of wind has caused many, many of their petals to start falling and drifting …
… covering the ground and the surface of a nearby pond in a lovely floral carpet.
The bounties of spring are innumerable; a promise of things to come.
Happy Sunday.

So fascinating to watch the petals fall and pile up, whether they be white or pink. Happy Sunday Lynette. Allan

Thanks, Allan. It has been delightful walking through all these petals, both on the ground and still on the trees with their soft scent in the air, too. Like being enveloped in spring.

Definitely. Winter snow can stay in the mountains for the skiers!

After a long winter it’s natural that our mind interprets blossoms as snow. What a relief to realize they are blossoms.

Agreed! A lot better than real snow! There’a still a lot of snow melt water coming through the creeks. The skiers had a good season but I’m glad it stayed up there in the mountains. We really didn’t get much of it in the valley.

I think the snow looks really pretty up in the hills, and that’s where it should stay.

It’s been a spectacular blossom year here too. We’ve reached the hawthorn and horse chestnut season now. It’s hard to know whether to look down at the ground and all the wildflowers, or up in the trees at all the blossom!

I agree and feel the same way! After three years of drought but a very wet winter providing a good recovery, everything is joyously growing and blooming everywhere I look. There are beautiful drifts of wildflowers and happy leaves and blossoms all over. So wonderful. Good to hear that you’re also experiencing a luxuriant spring.

I wouldn’t mind having that type of snow! Looks nice and I bet the smell of the air is amazing. And yes, it’s only just beginning. What a fabulous time of the year.

That’s the best kind of snow ever! Yes, the scent of lilac, apple blossoms and other flowers is completely wonderful. Spring is so great! Today it’s raining buckets but apparently is falling as snow in the mountain passes, though. So there’s real snow not too far from here!
