I could almost smell the apple blossoms in your photo. Ours haven't even started to bloom yet, our spring is so late. I particularly love the time when we have a light spring rain, and the apples are all in bloom, because our streets here are lined with them. The whole town smells of apple blossom. Also your last photo instantly had me humming Bonnie Kellswater, in a memory from when I saw _The Irish Rovers_ in concert years ago. I'm fond of the song, and it was of course triggered off by the line "... like the primrose is loved by the bee..".
