Pear blossom and weeds.

Our pear tree has started to blossom. Last year the pears were rather poor so we radically pruned the tree a couple of months ago, which is why it looks a rather strange shape now.

However, the bees don't mind what shape it is and they were certainly enjoying it this morning when I took these photos.

Also most prolific at the moment is a weed with a white flower which grows anywhere in the fields and along the roadside.


It grows in such abundance that whole areas become white. The gorse is starting to flower as well so the countryside is becoming very colourful and spring-like with these yellow and white flowers.



The bees are certainly being kept busy - there should have been 3 of them in this photo but they must have flown off.
