Ohhh!!! This is so beautiful, Carol! Our trees won't blossom until May, so this is such a refreshing sight for me! The composition, lighting, detail and colors are perfect!

Carol, Thanks for more of that great blue sky and a tease of springtime?
Can’t wait! Where are the bees? Well pruned tree, huh?
Nice shot!

Thanks so much for your generous comments, Cathy, Lorriane, Greg, and Carolyn. I really appreciate it. :-)

This orchard actually started blooming in January, Carolyn. It is early. This is the only orchard I have seen in bloom, but there are a lot of other trees around that are starting to blossom. The blossom trail starts toward the end of February through March, so I guess it is about time. This is the one time of year where it is really beautiful around here.

Lorraine--I went out on Monday to get these pictures because of the beautiful blue sky. Most of the time lately we have had a hazy or foggy ugly white sky. I knew the blossoms would have a great background that day.

Greg--these trees are very well cared for and pruned carefully. Every one of them looks the same shape. There were bees flying everywhere that day. Check out my gallery and there is a picture from a couple of days ago with a couple of bee close-ups.

I got a lot of nice pictures of these blossoms and bees, but don't know if I will put any more of them on. I don't want to get boring! Thanks again for the comments. Glad you enjoyed the picture.

Very pretty shot, Carol! It's nice to see fresh new growth and blooming flowers. Its like an injection of spring into my winterized system :-) I can use all I can get as we still have quite a bit of winter to go here! #50435
