Crabapple

Our crabapple tree rises up from the back garden and fills our upper-storey family room window with a punch of color.  From first buds; to explosion of color; to the first few visible leaves that herald a pink snow storm, come the first breath of a breeze; a matter of days that can be counted on our fingers, with some left un-tallied. I'm glad we didn't miss this...

  3. We've just put on an extra bedroom on the first floor and the difference in what we can see is startling. In particular the birds don't seem to be disturbed by us being behind the windows.
    we had a huge crabapple tree in the U.K. so your post brought back happy memories.

  7. So pretty. I am still waiting for the the explosions here in NJ. Not sure which blossoms will come first. Little crocuses are popping up everywhere--planted by the squirrels. But the buds are slow to open this year.
