Early Spring can be, and ought to be, beautiful for flowers—what could be more cheerful than a daffodil host?—but May is ravishing for trees. I ventured briefly out today and was filled with joy at the sight of the fresh green on the branches everywhere, the hawthorns covered in white, and the massive horse chestnuts groaning with candles. We have a splendid abundance of horse chestnuts here. Come summer, there'll be more colour at knee level, but right now the trees are perfect.

Sparkly Campers: have you signed up?

The hawthorns and chestnuts haven't started flowering here yet but I know just what you mean. So many glorious trees with fantastic flowers!

We went for a walk today, and I was very frustrated not to have taken my camera along.

Yes, the trees are glorious! I love it.

I wish I was joining Camp again. Sigh. Stupid money and work.

:-( What a shame you can't make it this year.

Oh, I love irises! Such elegant and interesting flowers.

Went for a walk today, but my phone was recharging so I couldn't take any photos.

OMG, what is with all the options telling me how easily I can comment using another account? Gah!

I love iris, too.

My grandmother passed away in 1981. Way back in the 50s, when my mom moved into her house, she transplanted some white and purple iris from my grandmother's house. When I moved in MY house in 2001, I took some of THOSE and brought them here. They're still blooming. They're under my kitchen window, so when I wash dishes in the summer, I can smell them. :)
