Crab Apple Beauty

The prairie fire crabapple is by far one of my favorite trees come spring time. The blossoms are a fiery red magenta that are just a sight to see. Imagine a whole tree covered with this lusciousness and you have the picture, just fantastic. I love it at all the stages but in full bloom it can't be beat. I loved the way the sunlight is dappled around the branches in this photo, adds such a great bright spot of light!
