Fruit flowers!

Everywhere you look in Fundy right now there are fruit flowers/blossoms of all different types. Others will slowly be coming in over the next few months, particularly wild raspberries and wild blackberries, but for now if you look carefully, you will be able to find the following:

Wild blueberry flowers


Wild strawberry flowers


Wild apple blossoms



Vibrant pink crabapple blossoms

While most of these are yet to be ready for eating, the other day I saw apple blossom petals falling from the trees. I was told that when apple blossoms fall from the trees, cedar waxwings, which are lovely and sleek brown birds that look akin to jays, will dive to catch the petals as they fall and eat them. Sadly I didn't manage to find any to take pictures of. Just goes to prove that although we can't eat the apples yet, there is always someone who will come to tidy up!

That's all I have to share for today, but I will have a trail review for you tomorrow - Dickson Falls - and I leave you for now with this picture of the first strawberry of the season! It's not very appetising, and the picture isn't very good, but here we are nevertheless!
