Flowering Crab Apples in Full Glory - Photos by Bob Kelly

Flowering Crab Apples along the east side of Beach Avenue in Ames, are sure putting on a show right now.  Their subtle fragrance, as I was close to them for the photos, was intoxicatingly wonderful!  The first butterfly of the season to photograph appeared today in the form of a Morning Cloak, even though it was late afternoon!  Enjoy!
