Wow, it's May already? Boy, time seems to be flying by. The month of May brings feelings of sweet anticipation for summer, longer sunshine-y days and warmer nights. I can't believe that summer is almost around the corner. In the meantime I am literally overwhelmed by all those beautiful blooming flowers and the beauty all around me. Nature inspires me in so many ways; I'm grateful for the lovely blossoms Mother Nature so graciously gave us!
The warm sun rays played on my eye lids and woke me up to a glorious, bright day.
I am at peace...xx

Happy May Day! Thanks for the flowers!
You have so many lovely flowers popping out all over. So lovely. Happy May Day.
My nieces used to go to a little school in northern Florida that celebrated May Day every year by winding ribbons around May poles. It was delightful and I always think of that. :)
Thanks for the flowers!
May, it feels like it's January. Great photos.

What a beautiful welcome for May. It's off to a great start here in Tennessee. I hope your entire month is bright and sunny.
At last we had a sunny day yesterday. It was fantastic to feel the warmth the sun brings. May all your maydays be beautiful Betty.
Hugs Marijke
Happy May Day to you Betty! Thanks for sharing the beautiful berries and flowers. I especially love the delicate orangy color of the last one.
Ooh, so many bright colors! I do not have as much blossoming in my own yard yet. I have one friend who grows lots of flowers, but I haven't had the time to drive up there. Maybe I should make a phone call soon. Blessings to you, Betty.
Happy may day....beautiful flowers...love from me....xxx..

I can't believe it's May already. Where the heck did March and April go?
Gorgeous images, Betty, as always.
Those are five wonderfully happy things to see on a Tuesday!
Fabulous flowers! Happy May Day!

I love your beautiful flowers. Sandie
We're already in May! The month that I like.
The days are larger, the heat is easier to carry and if you go on vacation hotels are cheaper and less queues to see interesting sites.
The flowers are full of beauty and exuberance.
Wonderful entry, Betty.
A hug.
Love the fade in shots, really sets them off.
Gorgeous photos, love them.
Thanks for sharing these beautiful flowers.
I love May too.
Mette
Lovely shots of these beautiful flowers, Betty and very appropriate for May Day!

Lovely, Betty! May I ask what those red berries are? They are so cute! :)

Thanks for spreading spring cheer, dear Betty.
Hugs to you,

May Spring bring forth all the colours to your life as you have in the pictures.
Betty, I think because we had a mild winter here in MO, mother nature is going wild. Everything is growing fast and big.
One of my peonies' blooms is bigger than my face--so huge and fragrant.
Thanks so much for all your wonderful and kind encouragement!!
Teresa
Beautiful Spring flowers, Betty! I love the hairs on the bud in the last shot.
It's Autumn here so the weather is cooling down.
Hi Betty, YES---it doesn't seem possible that it is MAY already. What happened to April???? ha
Great pictures. There's just nothing better than taking pictures of all of the spring flowers.. You do a great job.
Hugs,
Betsy
Here's hoping your May Day was every bit as sunny as mine. Pleased to see some sun at last, long may it continue.
Your photographs are truly beautiful.
Keep it up!!
Much love.
Great posts from you Betty! Beautiful flowers and I truely agree the Nature is fantastic. The cherry tree is about to blossom! Marvellous !
Happy May Day to you, too. I love May, too. Spring, sunshine (quite scarce these days in London) and the temperature is neither too cold, nor too warm. Love those flowers.
Greetings from London.
nancy, the name of that flower is ardisia. this shrub produces long-lasting coral-red berries, which stand out against dark-green leaves.
it's so beautiful! isn't it?
