Day and Night

Delicate flowers bloom on the donut peach tree in my backyard, the official mark of the start of spring:

Just before sunset, slanted rays pass over the rooftop, casting intricate shadows across the petals.

The dainty flowers set against a seemingly two-dimensional dusk sky.

Within weeks this lovely tree will shed its petals to make way for fuzzy little peaches.

Happy spring!
