Rainy Day
Blossoms on my Prairie Fire crabapple tree. I took this in the rain while holding an umbrella in one hand, and my camera in the other. Sadly this will be the tree’s last spring, as I am having it replaced. It blooms spectacularly in the spring, but has poor foliage the rest of the summer and fall. I have consulted an arborist and he said it wasn’t planted properly and the roots are very shallow. This is only its third year. The best thing to do long term is to replace it with a new tree and make sure it is planted properly.
