Spring Blossoms.

When we first decided to buy a house on an Almond farm we were told how beautiful it is in Spring when all the blossom is out. How the hills look like they are dotted with candyfloss. How people travel miles to come and drive through the area to admire the blossom.


We arrived at the end of the season when the nuts were being harvested and the blossom was long gone.


But it is back and it is so pretty.




The blossom ranges from white to a deep pink. In some fields the trees blossom all the same colour, in other fields the colours are varied. The blossoms are resiliant. In the UK there is Cherry Blossom, it looks very similar and very beautiful but the first wind takes all the blossoms from the trees and carpets the floor with pink petals. Here, we had hurricane strength winds at the weekend and the blossom is still on the trees.



These are a few of our trees across the Rambla. There's lots of blossom, maybe that means there'll be lots of Almonds when it's time to harvest.


I do hope so.
