crab apple tree

There is a gorgeous tree outside the balcony of my condo. I think it's a crab (jeez, I first wrote crap!) apple tree (I should know for certain). It's blooming now & it is quite red over all. The green is certainly there but the red is really what is seen right now. Our blooming trees are so late this year. Lilac trees in Vulcan last weekend were in full bloom & they've really just begun in Calgary. What is this global warming I've heard so much about? It's NOT here, that's for sure.

I love how the side walk turned out. The tree is pretty good too. I may give it another go with pastels. It may be easier! Letting watercolours dry... I have trouble with that.
