Crabapples in bloom


 I snapped this photo of a large old crabapple tree in bloom as we walked by last week, it was spectacular.

A friend had her first grandson born recently.  Apparently it was a home birth.   A longtime family friend passed away, I suspect it was largely caused by Covid isolation as he lived alone with health problems.  Life has its ups and downs.

True, life is not so easy for such people at the moment when they live alone. A coming and going on our world with corona doesn't come any faster
Beautiful the old blossoming tree.
I wish you a good weekend, hug Elke

Definitely so many ups and downs. Lovely photo. Those crabapples look best in the tree, too instead of on the ground.

Your crab apples are beautiful, Christine. They say that people have avoided going to doctors during the pandemic which was a problem because some people had medical problems that really needed to be dealt with.
