The weather has been lovely here and I’ve been making a point of spending more time outside. I need to make the most of the upper 70s and 80s while I can, they are forecasting that we will be in the 90s by the weekend.

While I was out  I’ve been enjoying the fragrance from the citrus trees in bloom. They are awful on us allergy sufferers but so beautiful that I can’t stop myself from breathing deeply when they are in bloom.

By the time I decided to take a few pictures the blooms were already past their prime. This is a bloom on the Clementine tree.

As the petals dry and fall away you can see the baby Clementines starting to form.

 This year we still have a few of the last crop on the tree. That little baby fruit has a long way to go.
