Beach Plum Blooming Time

Spring comes to the island in waves.  The shad and cherry waves are so beautiful, and leave the blossoms in their wake.  We now have the beach plum wave,  with the beautiful white blossoms all around the island.  I hope they get pollinated and result in a bumper crop of beach plums in the late summer.  It seems like more blooms this year,  but it is hard to measure,  since the pandemic has us experiencing all spring,  rather than weekends of spring.  


And the ferns are unfurling in the magical fairy swamps.
