Yesterday was March 1. Somehow it felt like we had turned a corner. It had been rainy and chilly most of Sunday (the previous day). However, that has one advantage; it washes the air clean. Monday dawned beautiful and clear. You could see mountains in the distance, and there were patches of puffy clouds. I'd noticed blossoms on some of the trees in the mixed orchard below the campus. Yesterday seemed like the day to photograph them. We don't know what the "bush" is that is so full of pink blossoms. The tree behind it is likely apricot, given that we found a few pits still hanging on branches.
The tree with the green leaves (photo above) is obviously an olive. The branches on the far left belong to either a fig or pistachio.
Here's a look at the mystery tree full on. We'll revisit the orchard when the leaves are on and let you know what you're are actually looking at. Meanwhile, enjoy the photos.
Beautiful. I enjoyed all the pics and reading your entries Martha. I hope all is well and that Ted and you had a good visit. I saw him recently and he seemed chipper.
