Blooming Crab Apple

My crab apple tree is finally blooming with flowers! This tree is tucked in the back corner of our house, and is not visible for others to view.

At this time of the year, this tree is at its best, and is a home to varieties of birds, and squirrels.

Just One





I like the soft pink in this flower, and as I look up; I have a perfect shot of just one single flower, with a little green and a bud behind it.

A Full Branch



When this tree is in bloom, it goes all out! Some branches are just full and heavy with flowers. This branch has one opened flower, one just opened, and many buds.

Stretching Out



This one branch stood out with two buds at the end, and has one flower near them. I like how the branch stretched and showed off its uniqueness.

Still Shy




These babies are tucked low and closer to the fence! They look secluded and apart from the rest of the branches. Since it received less sun light, their color was almost red.

Up Close and Personal



Depending on the light of day, these crab apple flowers show different shades of pink. I took this picture early in the morning light, and these flowers have such a nice tint to them.

Above My Head




This branch above my head is full of flowers. They grew in a cluster, and the color is just magnificent. I can stand underneath this tree all day, because I love the way it looks at this time of the year.

If you can recall, this is the same corner of our house that Joey took the pictures of the birds, and the squirrels, with only the seasons changed.

Those are really good pictures, and lovely blossoms. I've been going around taking pictures of blossoms and plan to post them in a few days. What a difference a few weeks can make to world around us!

The flowers are bright in colour which are similar to Hibiscus of Malaysia.

They are gorgeous. Let's hope the wind doesn't get them. This always happens to my Quince. They bloom beautifully and then the wind blows it all away. Result, very few fruit.

Leslie,

Thank you! I'm glad you like them :-)

Brenda,

Thank you so much for your generous support!

Jodi,

At this time of the year, there are so many beautiful trees that are in bloomed..

Monique,

I know what you mean about the wind..We had so much rain and wind this year, so the flowers are gone faster..
