Well we have a little bit of rain this morning but the sun is making an appearance so hopefully the beautiful weather we have been having this week will continue. The kids have been out jumping on the new trampoline every day and inviting the neighbor kids to jump with them. I am just happy the wind has started to die down - it was getting ridiculous for a while. I grabbed a couple pictures of the blooms on our apple tree yesterday... I always forget how pretty they are and it is interesting how the buds are pink and then the blooms are all white! Unfortunately I have let another year pass without spraying and pruning the tree so most likely I will have a lot of apples to pick up and throw away by late summer!
I love the way this picture turned out. I got out a chair to stand on so I could get a better perspective and then noticed our trampoline in the background. The cover for the springs is a greenish/teal so I changed my camera position to put that part in the background - a nice contrast against the pink of the buds!
This next picture I like because there is one opened white flower in the middle of the pink buds. I was trying to get a picture with a bee collecting pollen but the bees were not cooperating with me!
that first photo is gorgeous!
