daily photos from Munich, photographed by Petra Voegtle

Appletree blossoms are undeniably beautiful - as all blossoms are. They are the latest to arrive in the year when cherries and magnolias and all other are gone.
To photograph them the best is to look for special lighting, when the sun is not quite on the blossom but is coming from the side or from behind. Then you can notice how transparent these blossoms are and how magical. I cannot stop looking for these scenarios...

Is this a yummy colour or not? I love this deep pink. Trees look so lovely when they are covered in these thousands of blossoms. What could be more beautiful? I only wished it would last longer than just the 2 weeks or so when you can enjoy all those natural miracles. We have to wait for sooo long to see these again. But at least I have the photos to enjoy whenever I want to...
Btw - I have a problem here - I actually could not find out what this tree is. Do YOU know? I found out: these are apple trees!

Can you smell it? Can you hear it? All that humming, buzzing. Can you feel the tickling at your nose when the pollen gets on your skin?



I am afraid I cannot stop lamenting about our weather at the moment - snow snow snow coming down and not ending. But at usual it is not that dry white stuff with much sun shining from time to time but that ugly wet sh.. that creeps into your bones, your feet become wet and everything is hurting from that damn damp cold.
So I would like to stay under my blankets and dream the apple tree dream...




In our region you seldom have the opportunity to see so many different trees in their autumn colours because normally it is very windy at this time of the year and the leaves are falling very quickly. But this year I was lucky to find many different colours and forms...
