I took this photo last year of an apricot tree in our complex yard. It was really beautiful and eye catching with all those pink blossoms. But the people planting it seemingly didn't care for its beauty but only its fruit! It didn't bring any fruit at all and so was condemned to have all its branches cut off! This year it's standing there with only one extending-to-the right branch and no blossoms at all and I dare say it's no longer a beautiful tree but a sad one to look at, or at least I feel that way :(
