Apple Blossom Time

 
During the ten days I was away in Bristol the garden seems to have suddenly exploded into life, particularly this old apple tree.

 
In the five years we've lived here I've never seen it so laden with blossom and it's making a stunningly pretty sight at the moment.

 
If all these blossoms become apples then the tree will be seriously laden with fruit come the autumn, although I'm keeping my fingers crossed that one way or another we won't still be living here then.

 
In contrast to the apple tree, and after last year's bumper plum crop, the plum trees had nary a blossom between them this spring.  I daresay after thoroughly over-exerting themselves last year they felt this year they needed a good rest.
