Orchards . . .

. . . I don't think I can see enough of them in the spring. They smell pretty, they look simply beautiful, they even buzz. Yes, buzz---thousands of honey bees and other insects flit from flower to flower. They don't really seem to notice people being so intent on their task. No risk of stings despite being surrounded by hundreds of buzzing bugs.

Here are some recent shots of cherry orchards. The cold, windy weather that has moved in will ensure the blossoms are not around much longer (these were taken just prior to the bad weather). They can be a lot like life . . . beautiful, sweet, and short lived.
