Coral Ardisia plant.
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
May truly is a wonderful month! :-)

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.
ReplyDeleteOoh, 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.

ReplyDeleteWe're already in May! The month that I like.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos, love them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these beautiful flowers.
I love May too.

ReplyDeleteBetty, I think because we had a mild winter here in MO, mother nature is going wild. Everything is growing fast and big.
ReplyDeleteOne of my peonies' blooms is bigger than my face--so huge and fragrant.
