Earlier this year, before I moved away, I took photos of my grandma's crabapple trees in the spring, when they were blanketed in blooms.
Tonight, on a visit home, I took photos of the same trees, covered in fruit.
Honestly, I was surprised to see so much fruit still on the trees, but I guess maybe the birds still have a plethora of other food sources. They may start sourcing from the trees more as the nights turn colder and the insectae start to die away.
Glorious fall is only a few short days away.

"There’s simply no real substitute for physical presence.
We delude ourselves when we say otherwise, when we invoke and venerate “quality time,” a shopworn phrase with a debatable promise: that we can plan instances of extraordinary candor, plot episodes of exquisite tenderness, engineer intimacy in an appointed hour.

But people tend not to operate on cue. At least our moods and emotions don’t. We reach out for help at odd points; we bloom at unpredictable ones. The surest way to see the brightest colors, or the darkest ones, is to be watching and waiting and ready for them.”
