Known for their fragrant springtime blooms and jewel-like fruit, crabapple trees make beautiful additions to the landscape. These are from an old one that every years continues to give joy! There are tons of varieties to choose from, but here is one of the best ones for long-lasting, colorful flowers, fruit, and fall foliage when planted in a sunny spot.
In the shade of the old apple tree
When the love in your eyes I could see
When the voice that I heard, like the song of the bird
Seemed to whisper sweet music to me, I could hear the dull buzz of the bee
In the blossoms as you said to me
With a heart that is true, I’ll be waiting for you
In the shade of the old apple tree…
I love trying to find good angles to take a photo, and light that brings the topic to its best. Sometimes I succeed sometimes not.
The apple tree flowers together with cherry tree flowers together make a lovely pair.
I took these about an hour ago, so they are fresh. I am wordless at the beauty of them
