Absolutely gorgeous shot, Robin! Love the vivid blue sky and it is the perfect backdrop for those fragile blossoms! Great composition! Hope you have a lovely weekend!
Great photo. It is way too early for apple blossoms here in the NC Mountains yet..but it will happens within a couple more months as we live right next to an Apple Orchard.
Beautiful! I just love this shot of the almond blossoms against the blue, blue sky! My husband grew up on an almond farm in the central valley of Calif, and we're still part owners of the almond farm, so I know that the coming month is very important for pollination of the blossoms.
Are you having the same problem in Israel that we are having here, CCD (Colony Collapse Disorder)? That's where worker bees just abandon the queen, so the colony collapses and the bee population decreases dramatically. Very bad for all farmers!
Robin, I googled CCD and found an article from 4/09 that said scientists have found a parasite that was causing honeybee colony collapse and they were able to treat it successfully, so yay! http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/04/090414084627.htm
Robin, all I can say is more beautiful than Van Gogh's Almond blossoms, which coincidentally is the inspiration master piece I am making a jewelry piece for at Art Bead Scene this month. Just gorgeous!

Pretty. We have almond blossoms, too, now, but our skies aren't quite that blue.
Very nice photo. Lovely blossoms so white and red tinged against such a pretty blue sky.

Oh these blooms look absolutely wonderful against that blue blue sky as a background! Great shot!
Gorgeous blossoms. So pleasing to the eyes.
what an impossibly blue sky!
Just so pretty the way you have framed up the sky.
Your photo was like receiving a postcard from paradise. Cheers from snowy Minnesota!
Wow! What a sky!
The blossoms are beautiful, but the sky is what catches my eye, and draws it to the rest.
Gorgeous! Wonderful detail and contrast between the white blooms and that amazing blue sky. It makes me long for spring.
We have sky too, just no flowers. : )

Ah, a breath of spring. It's going to be at least a couple of months until we see the blooming blossoms.
Perfect blue sky :)
