Now is the Time

Hello Lovelies,
reading Annette's POST yesterday I had to smile. Her words summed up how I feel at the moment. Now is the time we have been waiting for through the short, cold winter days.

All these photos were taken yesterday.......a beautifully sunny May day.

Now is the time to get up early and be greeted by clear skies and birdsong when you have a little wander around the garden before breakfast. There was frost on the grass and the strawberry plants........possibly the last one till the Autumn?..............


Now it the time to notice morning sunlight flooding my kitchen now the sun is rising further along the horizon........




Now is the time to give my kitchen window a good clean as the sunlight shows up previously unnoticed dirt...........


Loving these supermarket Carnations.........I'm a sucker for Cerise............


But mainly now is the time to get out and make the most of May, when mother nature is so fresh and beautiful.........


Another trip to the Bluebell woods , still not masses of flowers, but oh what a gorgeous place to wander through the dappled sunlight............










Right now I feel extra glad to be alive......It's a special time of year for sure.
I'm making the most of it before it's gone.

    Dear Jacquie
    Let the light flow. Let the colours be enjoyed. Let the fragrance from wild flowers and green fields and forests fill our bodies. Beautiful woods and paths you have to walk through. Thank you for popping by and thank you for linking. Today is a special day. Just like tomorrow, and the day after and the day after that...

    You're right, this is the moment. So much life zinging forth, it's incredible, it really take my breath away, every year. Such beautiful photos, especially that butterfly. Hope you enjoy the bank holiday Jacqui.

    Wow, an orange tip butterfly! Apparently they are very hard to spot and photograph from what I have read on some other blogs, so you did amazingly well to capture that! They are beautiful and it is lovely to finally see one as I have heard a lot about them and never seen one! Hope that you are enjoying your long weekend. xx

    I was about to ask you the name of that beautiful butterfly, Jacquie, but Amy has already supplied the answer - I have never seen one of those and perhaps it's not around our parts anyway - how gorgeous it is! All your pics once again are so wonderful, thank you so much, I enjoy and appreciate them so much!!! I'm sure you are planning on making the most of your gorgeous weather over there - happy days to you and yours! Love, Joy xo

    I do hope it's the last frost. I have a greenhouse bursting at the seams. Lovely photos as always. I love the way a bit of sunshine perks everyone up.

    Bluebells take me right back to childhood. We lived behind a huge wood and it had a carpet of bluebells. Breathtaking :)
    :( My little pup absolutely destroyed our strawberry plants. He dug them up over the weekend. They were growing wonderfully too!
    You pictures are stunning as usual xxx

    Thanks for sharing your spring with us! Whenever I take my camera on a walk, I notice a lot of things I wouldn't see otherwise!

    Some of your flowers I have seen here in Germany, others I don't recognize. Very pretty!

    Take care
    Anne

    You're so right and May seems to be such a fab month, the beginning of the early summer and the ending of the winter, x
