Wild Apple Blossoms

Down at the bottom of the road, were the driveway makes a sharp turn to the left, an apple tree struggles to grow in the shade of the large firs. The tree is tall, spindly, and a heavy snowfall a few winters past has made its top point downwards. But even with all of these challenge, it still produces lovely blooms each Spring and a dozen or so deep scarlet apples each Fall. The will to survive.
