Clouds of pink & white

It's the most beautiful time of year.
The trees are covered with clouds of pink & white blossoms.
These are the first to bloom - Patterson apricots.
All the apricots, peaches, nectarines, & plums are blooming - some have just broken bud &
 others are in full glory.
It snowed in the mountains yesterday, so if you look closely you can see the fresh snowfall in the background.
When the weather is warm enough, the bees are buzzing around, thousands to each tree.
So very soon they will have done their work, the flowers will fall off, & tiny fruits will appear.
