There is never such a finer scene
Than when the almond trees send forth their pretty blossoms.
Whilst other fruiting trees are still sleeping soundly.
 
In shades varying from softest pale pink, to full blush pink.
Also some varieties have papery pure white petals.
 
Grown in Almond Groves as we refer to them here
 The beauty of the blossoms on the tree is so pretty.
Whilst still looking magnificent  as their petals
Fall to the ground or scatter on the wind
Leaving a beautiful cover across the Winter Earth.
 
Spring surely follows after the Almond blossoms have displayed their perfect colours.
 
Please enjoy My Almond Blossom Photos.

  5. I love the Flowering Redbuds here too, they bloom the same time your Almond ones do. I love spring and honestly forgot that your seasons are different than ours. Soak it all in Milli!

  7. Beautiful.
    They dressed our hired slated wedding table in 1944.
    The Bride wore black and I had my only suit cleaned.
    The sheet used for a tablecloth was white, until the small hired wine glasses slipped into the slats.
    Honeymoon lasted one day, then back to work.

  8. Thank you for sharing that memory Bill it was so wonderful of you to do so. Oh the colour of the wine dipped table cloths would have suited the blossoms and the brides dress so well.
    Thanks so much for the visit.

  14. From high up in the tree
    the petals begin their downward fall
    they leave behind upon the tree
    a tiny wee growing ball

    As this ball begins to grow
    it grows not like a fond
    but long and oval it its shape
    determined to become an almond

    We wait 'till the nut is ripe
    then we pick day and night
    as we crack the shell to get the nut
    then sit and eat with pure delight

    such is the life of that lovely nut
    that precious little taste of paradise
    grown by naturein beautiful splendour
    only to be sold at a rediculous price!!!

  15. Thank you Peter what a lovely poem you left for me here. Feeling quite honoured am I. The price of nuts is high however I think that they have so much nutritional value in them, they are worth it. The wild ones produce free nuts if one is quick enough to beat the birds,critters and the roadside pickers.
