You're a Tree By the Way, Part 4: Beauty is But Fleeting

Unfortunately, the beauty that is an apricot tree in full bloom is but fleeting. Strong winds, careless prods with a paint brush and natural life cycle cause the event to only last a week at the most. After, one is reminded of the splendor by the tiny white petals that dot the landscape and the stamens and pistils and all the other private parts that stay affixed to the tree.

Ooooh, artsy!

Ok, so far only 1 or 2 flowers have dropped, but you can imagine if there were more, right?
