Apricot Blossoms-1
These fruit trees only bloom for a short period of time, so I'm out and about taking advantage of the photo opportunities.
The dark area on the right is the tree trunk of this old and a bit tired tree. In the summer I stop by and pick apricots of the branches that overhang the fence.
Two years ago to the day I was photographing these trees swarming with Painted Lady butterflies, today there wasn't a single pollinator in sight.
I hope there will be some insects while I'm not looking, otherwise it will be hard to pick fruit later in the year.
