A Thing of Beauty is Joy Forever, Skywatch April 6, 2011

Thank you and welcome to my newest follower, Wren.

Long time readers of this blog know how much I love apple, cherry and plum blossoms. I never, ever get tired of them and they bring such joy to me at this time of year.

Yesterday was an especially nice day to take a walk since it has been raining so much here and we haven't been getting consistent sunshine. I took these two photos to show you the blossoms and also to let you see that there is still fresh snow on the mountains.

    Beautiful blossoms and snow-on-the-mountain. Lovely, lovely idea of rain--here it is only an idea for the last 7 months. Keep your fingers crossed for us in the hope that we get some precipitation soon.

    I love seeing the fruit blossoms! I am eagerly awaiting the blossoms here but as yet I don't even see selling buds.

    The spring blossoms are lovely against the blue sky and so is the snow capped mountain.

    I hope by now you were able to get some rain to cool some of the heat and dust. I do love the blossoms and the snow on the mountain though it does seem late for so much snow.

    Umm, I agree the blossoms are so special. We share two things in common, blossoms and food ;-)
