Springtime Among the Apple Blossoms ~
Springtime is here in North Carolina.
I went out to look at the beautiful blossoms on my apple tree and found a nest, nestled among the branches.
Mother Robin bird had laid her brood in a tiny nest surrounded by blossoms.
I peeked later and found four eggs, altogether.
Springtime is a wonderful tonic for any winter weary soul.
Go out and breathe in some renewal of spirit!
