May-time
It's May, and the sculptural tree stump from my February post is now knee-deep in bluebells 
The brilliant white flowers of stitchwort form drifts along hedgerows and verges....
...sometimes sharing a sunny bank with bluebells
"Apple blossom, pink and wholesome and sweet."
--LM Montgomery, one of the Anne of Green Gables books
There's an old saying, "It isn't spring until you can cover seven daisies with your shoe."
I have small feet. I think this counts.
Summer is icumen in.

How I wish I could see this in person...so beautiful! It's oddly cool here today in Georgia, but the Magnolia's are trying to bloom...I can't wait til the air is filled with that sweet scent!
Amy - thanks, and glad you liked the pictures. I bet your magnolias are worth waiting for!
Lovely pics! The pink blossom here lasted for all of about 3 days. Grr, stupid strong wind!
All of it is beautiful, but from this angle the tree stump is spooky! Like an animal head with one horn or a crest, and a wooden eye staring back ...
Alianore - thanks, and bad luck about the blossom! I hope it had time to turn into incipient apples before the wind got up.
Rick - yes, I know it's spooky, that's why I like it :-) It doesn't take long in a British wood, even a tame and managed one, to see where Tolkien got the idea for Fangorn from....
Pretty flowers.
Carla - what struck me on my one trip to England, many years ago, was how much it looked like the Shire. :-)
Gabriele - thanks
Rick - given where Tolkien grew up I don't suppose that's a coincidence :-)
Beautiful pictures Carla!
Thank you, Kevin.
