My favorite
time of year is here again and will disappear shortly. The winter is ending and
already we are experiencing hot dry days. The hills around my house are still
green and everything is blooming: the trees, the shrubs, and flowers
everywhere, an awful time for the allergic among us. Very soon it will all turn yellow and dusty. So
for this short period of grace I'm in photography frenzy especially of almond
trees blossoming. I've wrote before about the
loveliness of almond flowers and so has
my fellow blogger
foodbridge. But every year it enchants me again. Just a mere
5 minutes' drive from my home there are almond orchards that transform to fairy
wonderland this time of year with trees blooming in white and pink. It is one
of my favorite places on Earth. Even the road that leads to the hospital where I
work is laden with almond and Judas trees that make the tedious driving a
lovely experience. Although my daily
life is very stressful and demanding I do stop, take out my smart phone and
photograph the lush beauty of trees and flowers thus remind myself every day
that it is a wonderful life and I am fortunate to live them.
