a backyard break

i took a moment to walk around my backyard today...

i took the time:

to take in the color

backyard blue

and breathe

backyard almost blue

and really see

backyard yellow

and listen

backyard lavender

and open my eyes to the unexpected*

backyard fruit

and notice the tiny

backyard pink

and drink up the beauty

backyard blushing blue

*does anyone know what this fruit is? we have had this little tree that i thought was a form of forsythia since we moved in. it grows a little out of control so i guess i pruned it a bit too much the first winter and it didn't have any fruit on it until this year. apricots perhaps? sky, i bet you know what it is...and maureen, maybe you know...

These are all gorgeous. I especially love the hydrangea that is white, tipped in blue.

These are beautiful!
I'm guessing those are apricots! (Just a random guess) We had a tree bloom this summer and it was an apricot tree that I did not even know was there until the fruit was totally ripe. My mother-in-law said the tree is old and only blooms every few years or so...

We have none of those things here in ND, except the impatiens as annuals, and the salvia, if that is what it is.

I love the closeup photos.
