My neighbor has a beautiful flowering crab tree. I have been photographing it throughout the year. It is beautiful in the winter when it is covered with snow.
Then when there is no snow and no leaves it is quite drab. But the birds still find a place to rest.
Then, spring comes and the magic begins. Absolutely covered with beautiful blossoms.
Then fall comes. The leaves are all gone but the crab apples hang on.
Then, back to the drab tree. But now the crab apples become a feast for the birds. Hundreds of birds ascend upon that tree and literally strip it.
I hope my neighbor enjoys it as much as I do. It is so neat to watch the various stages of that tree.
