Beautiful May




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.

spring road

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 ♥

May is so beautiful. The third photo is so inviting!

Around this time last year, we sat in the grass on that green road and you let me talk about some things I was really unhappy about. I'm in a much better place today, but also seeing the beautiful green road makes me remember how gentle you were with me that day.

Oh, how lovely. The third photo reminds me of a park we often walk in. I love the subtle tapestry of trees in various stages of flowering and just starting to leaf out.

And it's wonderful that you have a tree you grew from seed.

Beautyful bloosoms. I have special troubles with apple blossoms these days...:)

The orchards here are in full bloom now and we have a LOT of orchards! :o)

It's funny to think of all those trees being single seeds once... We saw black-naped orioles when we were in Kuala Lumpur and they were beautiful birds with vivid yellow feathers - are yours like that?

Lovely! I saw an oriole in an apple tree last spring, in New York.

I think you've said and I've forgot, but what are the apples from your seed-tree like?

Beautiful indeed! As a megacity-dweller, these images make my day (in an envious sort of way, LOL).

Beautiful photos! I love the first one especially: it seems so full of possibilities.

So much green!!! I love it! This time of year, much of our green has already turned brown. :(

If you plant an apple tree from a seed (which I think is totally wonderful), does it need another apple tree to cross-pollinate in order to have fruit? What kind of apple tree is it?

You live around so much beauty.

Very inviting! I hope to post inviting photos soon, too, as I enjoy the French countryside. Alas (so to speak), there are two days of forecasted sunshine in the coming week and rain the rest of the time. :P I don't mind so much, being in France for 3 months, but poor J only has 2 weeks...
