It started as a gray day at the Saratoga Heritage Orchard, but the clouds gradually lifted, revealing the tops of the coastal hills and sunny skies. Once again we were too late for prime apricot bloom, but the Saratoga Heritage Orchard has an extended blooming season due to its variety of flowering trees. The small cherry orchard and the flowering crabapples near the Saratoga library were in peak bloom. For those artists who really wanted to paint apricot blossoms, there were some individual apricot blossoms to paint close-up.
