Blossom Time

This is the time of the year when all the blossoms show up on the fruit trees, and even though they may not be as spectacular as the cherry blossoms from Japan or those seen along the Potomac River in Washington DC, they still create a nice colorful display in our countryside and streets where they blossom impressively and majestically for a few days. Too bad that the wind blows those petals away so quickly, and within a few hours, they turned from beautifully-clothed to ashamedly-naked. 
But let’s enjoy them while they last, especially if photographers are quick enough to snap a few photos like these I am sharing with you today. These particular blossoms are of a peach tree. Spring is around the corner. And let's continue to pray for rain. February in Malta this year has not seen one drop of rain and the fields are pretty parched, as the broad beans, potatoes, artichokes, and wheat wait patiently from moisture from heaven above.
