"Where the North Begins and the Fine Fruit Grows" is proclaimed on a billboard as you enter a town just a bit south of where I live. It's for certain that fruit growing is a huge part of life in west Michigan. This time of year, hillsides are blanketed with blooming trees.
Sometimes, they make the horizon completely "fluffy."
When I took these pictures, most of the blooms were cherries. Most of what is grown here are sour cherries, but also a lot of black sweet cherries.
The apples weren't in bloom yet, but the peaches were!
Hope you enjoyed the fruit tour.

did you know that one of my dreams is be able to grow an apple tree here in our country - the Philippines? i guess unless I can control the temperatures and the weather then that's the only time I can make my dream come true.
I think fruit trees in bloom are always so beautiful...but,even more, I like the trees when they are bearing that wonderful fruit!! I, especially, like cherries.
My feeling is mixed sour and sweet now.
I did. Thank you.
And so did I.
I really like those cherries. What I really love about the fall is apple harvest. The odor of freshly picked apples is like a hint of heaven to me.
I love fresh fruit from the tree or berries from the vines. It is such a clean, fresh, real flavor.
I always love seeing the fruit trees in the spring with their blossoms.
We use to have dwarf fruit trees in our back yard when I was growing up.
Love, love, LOVE northern Michigan cherries! Yum!
Must be a fascinating time right now where you are. Is it sad that the only cherries I'm familiar with are maraschino cherries?
