Peach Blossoms


Double flowered peaches were blooming everywhere in the park Saturday, making a spectacular show. They even had variegated double flowered peaches. It made for a nice stroll with traditional beds of daisies and poppies set off by blooming deciduous trees. I had a lot of fun playing with backgrounds and focal length. Sometimes getting in real close and other times getting macro shots.







I was so psyched up, I wandered down into the canyon in back of the house to see how the fruit trees were doing down there. Not to be outdone, the neighbor's white peaches, while not nearly as flashy were also putting on a show all their own. The avocado, while not flashy at all, was looking promising and the figs and citrus seem to have survived our little freeze this last summer. I may have to stop by the garden shop to get a net for the peach tree so the squirrels don't get all the peaches this year.
