May Day Blossom and Orchard Fox Sightings

May Day in the orchard, blue skies and sunshine. The Worcester apple trees are in "early pink bud".

In comparison the plum blossom is already beginning to go over. You can see some of the petals are tinged with brown at the edges.

Today though I'm more excited by another fox sighting. He / she seems to be getting more used to seeing me around and today walked past me, a short distance away, at 2.30, returning from whence he had gone at 3. Once again no camera to hand, I'd put it away after taking the blossom images,  and the fox photograph is courtesy of Colin M.L. Burnett via Wikipedia Commons.
