We live next to an orchard, farm shop and cafe with the most beautiful blossom in the spring. This year only the shop is open for essential food supplies and they're doing an amazing job supporting our local community.
They've also been posting their own phone shots of the blossom to social media, wishing they could do it justice and share it with their customers but the orchard has to remain closed to the public. As their friend and neighbour, I asked if I could come for a walk with my camera and they gave me permission to come at dawn whilst everyone else was sleeping.
It was a beautiful morning and utterly stunning as the sun came up and lit the orchard, causing the early morning mist to glow around their two ponies. The dew on the blossom shone and I had the most amazing time wandering alone with my camera. If you're unable to get out to see the beauty of nature yourself, I hope these photos make you smile!

I walked down the path from our house at 5:30am
A frosty dandelion clock before the light hit
The sun rising behind the hill
The blossom with the sun rising behind
Buds covered in dew
As the sun rose higher, the mist glowed and everything warmed up
The blossom was beautifully lit by the early light
From bright pinks to pastels
The sun through the branches
And on the Oast House in the distance
The dew sparkled
The sun shone through the petals
And between the trees
The colours were intense
