A tiny shoot of nascent buds, all closed in a small bouquet of young green leaves on an otherwise mostly naked branch.

The tree branch is now covered in leaves, with small garlands of apple blossoms in full bloom. The buds in the previous picture are opening up to offer their delicately rounded petals up to the morning sun.

Blink and sudden green shoots and deep pink blossom buds appear. Blink again, and you're now facing a short apple tree in full bloom!
How closely do you pay attention to nature as it slowly dances through the seasons?
