Springtime in the Orchard II

Springtime in the Orchard is an image that I captured a few years ago as I was driving around with my camera after a brief clearing in some of the late spring storms rolled through the area.
Here in Northern California all of the vineyards start showing life, the farmers are busy planting and the Orchards come alive with green grasses and fresh blooms.

Springtime In The Orchard II Springtime In The Orchard II unfolds like a quiet breath of spring after rain, full of softness and renewal. A long orchard row stretches into the distance, the trees standing in perfect rhythm—each one crowned with a cloud of delicate white blossoms. The petals look almost weightless, as if a single warm breeze could lift them into a gentle swirl. Their color isn’t a flat white but a living one: hints of cream, pale blush, and sunlit silver shimmering where the light touches them. Beneath the trees, the grass glows a vivid, almost electric green—the kind that only appears after storms have washed the dust from the world. It feels lush and cool, like it would brush softly against your ankles if you stepped into the scene. The ground between the rows is a warm, earthy brown, grounding all that brightness with a sense of place and season. The air in this image seems crisp and fragrant. You can almost smell the sweetness of the blossoms mixing with damp soil and the faint mineral scent left behind by passing rain. The light is gentle, diffused by lingering clouds, giving everything a soft, luminous quality—no harsh shadows, just a calm, even glow that makes the orchard feel peaceful and alive.

Some wild #plums by the road, hiding from the #rain (but no match for my greedy paws) 😌

A close-up of a lush fruit tree branch, its vibrant green leaves glistening with fresh raindrops. Nestled among the foliage, clusters of ripe fruits—likely plums—display a mix of deep red, pink, and purple hues. The fruits hang in small bunches, partially hidden by the leaves, creating a natural and refreshing scene of summer abundance after a rain shower.

#SouthAustralia - #PointPearce #FirstNations #CultureGarden

"#LandcareAustralia is proud to partner with #PointPearceAboriginalCorporation in establishing a First Nations community-led conservation and education project. Located in South #Australia’s Point Pearce in the #WardangIsland #IndigenousProtectedArea (IPA), the project is led by the #TraditionalOwners, the #Narungga people, and aims to support #Indigenous youth to learn about their Cultural heritage and knowledge that will lead to career and leadership pathways in #EnvironmentalConservation. 


At the heart of this initiative is the Point Pearce First Nations Culture Garden, a space where #Elders, #FirstNationsRangers, and #IndigenousYouth come together to bridge and transfer #CulturalKnowledge. Designed as a hands-on learning environment, it will inspire young people to explore environmental conservation, deepen their appreciation for the natural world and discover career pathways that utilise Cultural knowledge. 


The Culture Garden will feature a #medicinal and #ceremonial plant area, #NativeBushFoods, water features to attract #wildlife, #SensoryGarden, and dedicated spaces for learning and Cultural practice. With a #seedling #propagation zone, a #NativeSeed cleaning station, a fruit and nut #orchard, and interpretive walking trail. More than just a garden, it serves as a ‘cultural learning hub’—fostering pride and offering a comprehensive setting for community events, educational programs, and vocational training opportunities. With funding from #OneTreePlanted, the tree planting will also help #restore #NativeVegetation and improve habitat for threatened species including the Southern Hairy-nosed #Wombat. 


Aligned with the South Australian Department for Education’s Aboriginal Education Strategy, the project aims to inspire engagement, Cultural pride, and environmental responsibility among First Nations students. It focuses on educational outcomes and how Cultural activities can play in enhancing social and academic competence among First Nations students."

Spring Has Sprung

Not far from my hometown in Northern California there is a road that leads up into surrounding hills/mountains. After a long winter with some very hard rains the local fruit and nut trees start bursting with blossoms in the springtime. I drove out Pleasant Valley Road, turned off onto Mix Canyon Road and a few miles up the road I was greeted with this scene.

#SpringHasSprung #BillGallagherPhotography #BuyIntoArt #AYearForArt #Orchard #SpringFlowers

Spring Has Sprung A long corridor of blossoming orchard trees stretches into the distance, their branches arching overhead to form a soft, cloud‑like canopy of white petals. The blossoms are so dense they seem to glow, catching the gentle spring light and diffusing it into a pale, silvery haze. Each tree is wrapped in fresh, vibrant green at its base, where new grass pushes up after winter rains, adding a lush, earthy contrast to the delicate whites above. The air in this scene feels cool and fragrant — a mix of sweet floral perfume and the damp, loamy scent of awakening soil. The repeating rhythm of the trees creates a sense of calm and quiet, as if the orchard itself is breathing slowly. The perspective draws your eye forward through the tunnel of blooms, inviting you to step into the stillness and feel the first true warmth of spring settling across the landscape.

I know there are many traditions associated with Wassailing. Here it has been our custom to Wassail our small orchard on 12th Night. We do this by giving each tree a bit of toasted bread that has been dipped in apple cider. Thereby "toasting" each tree. We then do a chorus of "Here we Come a-Wassailing" and recite some poetry. It is our way to give thanks for all the wonderful apples these trees provide us!

Here we come a wassailing
Among the leaves so green,
Here we come a wandering
So fair to be seen. “Health to thee, good apple-tree,Well to bear, pocket-fulls, hat-fulls,
Peck-fulls, bushel-bag-fulls.”
“Here’s to thee, old apple-tree,
Whence thou may’st bud, and whence thou may’st blow,
And whence thou may’st bear apples enow
Hats full! caps full!
Bushel-bushel-sacks full,
And my pockets full, too, huzza!”

A lone apple tree sits in a field of snow. Snow on the ground has various tracks made by wildlife moving about. Branches are gnarled and snow covered. Bright sunshine with blue sky above. Wintry cold.

Community Orchard update*: I was unable to attend the last meeting due to Scouting obligations but I suggested adding a couple of words to two of the Group Aims in the proposed draft constitution and they seem to have been well received.

Kinda ironic that I may have made more of a contribution in the one meeting I wasn’t at than all the others I attended combined. 😆

(*I only just received the meeting documentation.)

Shot from above into a fruit crate full of apples. They are green, yellow, golden, some red. The rough skin has dark speckles in places. There are large, stately apples and small, crooked ones, many of them irregularly shaped. An appetising sight!

Many footprints from the garden invader under the apple tree.

Lots of running around and digging frozen apples out of the snow, then messily eating them.

Good to see them feeding someone, although come spring that fence will be fixed :)

#Wildlife #Garden #Orchard #Apple #Winter

A wintry scene under an apple tree. Small pawprints crisscross the area. Some spots have been dug up and apples hiding under the snow have been shreeded by teeth/claws. Behind is a fence with a hole that has been patched with a piece of sheet metal, which some creature keeps knocking over.
