Beautiful May

[asakiyume]

Here is a road I walk every day. This photo is from yesterday, but this morning, when I passed this way, an oriole flew into an apple tree (not visible in this picture) and seemed to be sniffing the blossoms. Maybe it was sipping nectar. Maybe it was nibbling the petals. Maybe it was listening to whispered secrets--I don't know.



These are not the apple blossoms that the oriole was getting intimate with, but these are apple blossoms I especially love, because they're on a tree I grew from a seed.



Beautiful May ♥

They're nice! Not spectacular, but with a pleasant flavor.

Can you compare it with other apples? Or with a summer's day?

I looked back and it seems my memory didn't do justice to my enthusiasm at the time: I called the apples rich and flavorful--"practically flawless," even! That was in 2013. I do recall that last year it didn't produce anything--it may be a type of tree that produces only every other year.

Thank you! "Winy"? (Winy apples never seem winy to me, but ....)

Maybe? I'll let you know this year, God willing!

May it be so.
