blossom

The joy of the sun coming out. And of seeing an apple tree thickly covered...but as I scampered to smell the blossom and take some photos my heart did a plummet...in moments like this I want to be someone there to share it with me. The wild, wild wind rushing a sand storm over the beach, the raw exhilerating wind from the rough white waves. The sharp blue sky. Oh and the sparkle, sparkle of the water on the sand rippling in the breeze, patterning in the sun. The new spring grass, waving all glossy, below sleek shiny rooks facing the wind out, taking turns at hanging in the turbulent air.

always the earliest

down by the estuary the lichen covered apple tree is always the earliest to blossom, by now it is probably covered, nd will have faced frost, perhaps sleet and snow.

thinking of japan

cherry plum blossom

blossom mania occurs...early cherry plums and now the blackthorn, and away from the wild the ornamental cherries.
