The Blossoming Valley

The valley is in full blossom as the fruit trees stretch their arms after a long sleepy winter, smiling at the warming days of spring. It is one of the most special times of the year.

This orchard is very special to me as these trees are our friendly neighbors.

If one were to walk down this row, up the hill and through the trees...they would arrive at our house!

The rolling hills draped with these beautiful blossoming fruit trees provide us with a delicious landscape... from blossom to fruit.

Here's another orchard across the way, hugging this narrow country road.

This is one of my favorite barns in the valley, especially when it's surrounded by twinkling pear blossoms and the green grass of spring. I'll return here when the fruit is growing, and their scent is strong and sweet.
