I love walking outside when the pear trees are in bloom. With every breeze, the white petals float slowly to the ground like some fragrant and magical snowfall.
Aren't those beautiful. The same thing happens around here with the cherry trees, only the 'snow' is pink. I was commenting to my friend the other day, that we live in a pink city. There are so many cherry trees and other flowering plants that appear in the spring and most of them are pink. Nothin' wrong with that! And, it's a nice change from the grey days of winter.
Oh, the pear tree blossoms are my weakness. Ours are gone now, replaced by cherry laurel blooms, teeny insect-like flowers falling from the trees. My favorite time of year is when the flowers fall from trees.
I once stood under the crooked 'Van Gogh' branches of one of these when the petals all showered down. It remains one of the peak experiences of my life!

Sometimes, that's as close as we come to snowfall here. It is lovely.
Oh I love that also. I may even get over to the apple orchards to see if they are blossoming yet. It's like being in a magical fairy land.
