(in the Garden} Crabapple Lace

Last night while dining on the patio I looked up to discover Mother Nature had woven crabapple lace above me. The sun was almost set and the silhouette of the newly emerging crabapple leaves created the most amazing view looking up into the night sky. Spring is just bursting onto the science, just a few short days ago there was barely a leaf to be seen ... now in a couple of short weeks the crabs will be bursting with flowers and the scent of honey will be in the early morning air. Some years back I attended a seminar on the discussion of fractals and their explanation of Mother Nature's work ... sometimes the science can take away from the beauty. These are those ah! moments to be enjoyed. ENJOY!
