Apple Tree Blossoms

These photographs capture the beauty of the apple tree that my late father planted in our backyard. According to my mother, it initially bore two small apples in its first year. He insisted that they share the apples: one for her and one for himself. The tree is truly stunning, with its lush foliage and delicate blossoms. Interestingly, it produces apples on an alternate-year cycle, and unfortunately, there were no fruits last year. These images were taken just days before a gentle rain shower washed away the fragile petals.
