It’s May! It’s May!

It all kicks off from here on!

Between the months of April and May

you can almost see the plants growing.

The clematis that looked dead, suddenly

sprouts long tendrils that seek support

from climbing roses. Peonies show their

ruby red young stems which contrast with

the lime green of the first unfurling leaves of delphiniums.

Hedgerows are showered with fresh new green buds

and the fields have a covering of green, the beginning of

natures food basket.

Wisteria’s bare skeleton shows it’s camouflaged

swelling flower buds that promise a waterfall of blue

or white next month.

Sweet gentle Spring fragrances are to be

found if you get close to the bluebells and

cherry blossom.

The first of this months four images is

a solar celebration of May Day. The first of May

has been celebrated throughout time and I hope this picture

encompasses all beliefs of this magical day.

Your home is your castle and you can make it a magical as you like.

This Magic Castle is candy colours, pink and blue and I suppose

very girly!

Marlborough Downs are looking so beautiful now,

I love to drive from Marlborough to Swindon,

pass Rockley and over the Ridgeway.

Stunning, it takes your breath away.

In this image I have mellowed the colours to make it

relaxing and calming to the eye.

Finally in this month is Silbury Hill, a recurring image in my work.

This time in shades of lilac and green.

Well, get in that garden and plant your flowers! Lovely.
