The Japanese celebrate the cherry blossom. On Majorca, the almond blossom is celebrated.
And rightly so, warm temperatures around 20 degrees, sunshine, green grass. For German tourists coming from grey Germany, it's like paradise. The almond cake with cream is also an incentive for me to travel there:).
We had the opportunity to bring spring forward a little and travelled to Mallorca for the almond blossom. It was worth it.

Striking white petal small flowers and buds. The almond (Prunus dulcis, syn. Prunus amygdalus) is a species of tree native to Iran and surrounding countries but widely cultivated elsewhere. The almond is also the name of the edible and widely cultivated seed of this tree. Within the genus Prunus, it is classified with the peach in the subgenus Amygdalus, distinguished from the other subgenera by corrugations on the shell (endocarp) surrounding the seed. The fruit of the almond is a drupe, consisting of an outer hull and a hard shell with the seed, which is not a true nut, inside. Shelling almonds refers to removing the shell to reveal the seed. Almonds are sold shelled or unshelled. Blanched almonds are shelled almonds that have been treated with hot water to soften the seedcoat, which is then removed to reveal the white embryo. 4114
The almond tree in blossom anticipates that spring is coming.
The almond tree adapts well to light, dry and stony lands, although it prefers calcareous soil.
This nice tree lives in warm weather zones, with warm, dry summers and mild winters with little frost.
On the contrary, it is difficult for almond trees surviving in humid and waterproof terraces and in cold environments.
The frosts, gummy and rotting in wet areas make it difficult to grow and can cause death.
The almond is highly revered in some cultures.

Part of the famous painting 'Almond Blossom'.
Vincent van Gogh painted this still life for his new-born nephew Vincent Willem.
Theo van Gogh: "As we told you, we’ll name him after you, and I’m making the wish that he may be as determined and as courageous as you."
1890, oil on canvas, Van Gogh Museum Amsterdam.
I didn't have a tripod so I decided to increase the iso while keeping the aperture closed enough to focus everything. Fortunately the d7200 has exceptional dynamic range and I think it worked well
This is what almond tree plantation looks like.
Almond trees bears white flowers at this time of the year.

Every photograph in order to be successful should convey a message to its viewer ... A message sometimes subtle and vague, while others strong and profound.
A frame with a latent underlying message is what we have here ... A photo that consists of two mutually contradictory both physically and symbolically elements that are nevertheless "condemned" by an act of fate to a harmonic, pleasant to the eye and not likely to easily come across elsewhere symbiosis ...
A stony, tiny in size underground blockhouse still stands in one piece against all odds .. A second world war remnant that still holds its "proud" figure intact ... This symbol that reminds us of man's insatiable, hostile and aggressive nature is being "attacked" this time by a fully blossomed almond tree that "decided" to become its long-term partner in life ...
A scene that bears a strong anti-war message, a truly optimistic scene .... Devoted to all of you who are fed up with the unbelievable ugliness that lurks around our lives lately ...

California produces nearly 80 percent of the world supply.
Have a good one
