Apple Blossom

The weather at home is sporadic, rapidly moving from dreary grey overcast to crisp blue skies.

I took the fleeting opportunity of sunlight to take a picture of the beautiful apple blossom that's flowing in the garden. While it's not the best photo I've taken recently, I'm trying to stick to the Blipfoto rules of uploading a photo taken on the day.

The blossoming trees and the changing season is an appropriate metaphor for the news that family and friends are too blossoming from the buds of student life to the flowering of the real world. Today my sister finished her very last exam of her degree, along (as facebook informs me) with various friends. I wish them the best of luck. In almost exactly two years I'll be in the same situation; a thought that scares me.
