Spring Crab Apple - Flowering Around Last Year's Fruit

May 1 - Crab #111

My previous post showed a crab apple tree in late April, still heavy with crab apples from last year.  I wondered what would happen once the trees began to blossom again.  THIS is what happens!  Spring does not care if the trees are not done letting go of their apples.  It's time to Bloom!

I really enjoy the symbolic combination of blossoms and dying fruit, and I am particularly glad for how beautiful it is.  

Don't forget to acknowledge the beauty of this time of year.  These blossom will be rotting in the grass within two weeks.
