One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to inquire in His temple. (Psalm 27:4)

Spring Beauty
Spring is such a beautiful time of the year. Here are a few photos, taken today in our back yard:
Theresa - There aren't as many blossoms on the apple tree this year as last, but the ones that are there are gorgeous. The crab apple tree, on the other hand, I think is going to be glorious in another few days.
Stephen - I think it's partly because spring flowers are just plain beautiful. But it's also because, for those of us in the colder climates, it's the new life awakening all around us after the barrenness of winter.
Hilary - Thank you kindly. Each season has its own beauty; but spring, coming as it does after winter, seems to burst with it.
Steve - Thank you. I can tell from your own blog how much you enjoy spring's beauty, too.
s.m. - Thank you for the visit and the kind words.
Elizabeth - I don't know much about plants, either, but the blossoms on the fruit trees seem to be an indicator of the amount of fruit they will produce. This looks like a great year for the crab apples, and that means food for the birds and squirrels through the winter.
Gorgeous, Linda... Love the apple blossom.. Wow!!!! Isn't Spring just awesome?
ReplyDeleteGonna be out-of-pocket for a few days...
Hugs,
Betsy
both apple trees are so beautiful - one large and white and the other so tightly budded. :)
ReplyDeleteHow is it that Spring flowers have the ability to affect us so?
