Peaches

the current background has, what looks to me, a peach blossom.

how do you know that? you may ask.

well, i would respond, i just happen to have a peach tree in my backyard.

are the peaches good? you may further ask.

i wouldn't know, would be my response. peaches blossom late in the spring, and the fruit grows over the period of about 3 months. they become ripe in late june, by which time i have been temporarily relocated for the past two summers.

i am hoping to get to finally enjoy a few of this years peaches.

ironicly, the background shows the blossom with lots of leaves. but in real life, the leaves are barely little shoots when the flower is in full bloom. you can see what i mean below...


in full bloom early may

this is what they look like after about 1 month
