Welcome to my post to this week for Tree Tuesday Meets Always a Flower Spring is Here. A collection of Fruit Tree Blooms around the House

#treetuesday created by @old-guy-photos and #alwaysaflower created by @dswigle

Would have put this out Tuesday but was having internet issues. Good thing @old-guy-photos isn't a stickler for deadlines =)

It's halfway through April and Spring is in full Swing. The Plum Trees have already dropped their blooms and the Cherry and Apple Trees are beginning to bloom for the next few weeks. Unfortunately the winds usually pick up over the next couple weeks as well so I have a short window to capture the blooms before they are blown off.

This first set is from the old Cherry Tree in the back yard. It's just beginning to put out bloom clusters.

I'm using my telephoto lens set @ 600 mm and isolating bloom clusters high up in the tree.

This Cherry Tree is about a hundred years old and has seen better days, it's got some problems and will need to be taken down soon. Don't want it to crash through the neighbor's roof O.o

The old Girl may be in bad shape but she can still throw down for spring with the best of them.

Right next to the old Cherry Tree intertwining with it in some spots is a Apple Tree that is also in bloom so I took some images of the Apple Blossoms as well as it will probably be taken down with the cherry.(Same problems, bugs)

The next two are from the Blooming Cherries( there are three) in the front yard. It's blooms are just starting this week. These trees do not fruit, they only bloom like crazy for 3 weeks out of the year.

They start out dark coral pink and then fade to pail pink before dropping.
When the wind starts blowing these blooms will rain all over and sometimes it looks like it snowed in the front lol pink snow at that.
