Almond Snow

Almond Blossoms

Pulgito

This part of town used to be one big almond orchard. We still have some of the trees left, and when they bloom it's rather spectacular. I like them so much that I planted a new one in my front yard. It's a different variety from the old orchard ones and blooms a little later.

When the petals fall off the trees, it looks a little like a dusting of snow.
