Almost an Almond

This is one of the most beautiful times of the year in the valley. The wildflowers are starting to bloom and the almond trees are in full swing.

The bees were in full swing when I got to this orchard. This is one of the flowers that  hadn’t been visited yet. I also learned that I am not allergic to bee stings. Many years ago I was stung by a wasp and as the doctor said I had a ‘beautiful reaction’.
