One of the things that I am loving about white
is the way it becomes a
background
for a pop of color.
It's May Day
so I thought it would be perfect day
to show you my May flowers.

I love the touch
of spring color
of spring color
with my white.
more roses...this time in pink
sweet lilacs against my favorite chippy white door
and the white picket fence
my brandywine crabapple blossoms
that look just like tiny rosebuds
I absolutely love these blossoms...I just wish they lasted longer
happy pink and white
How's your week going?
Mine is better;
more sunshine, more flowers, more hope.

ReplyDeleteRene,

I'm glad to hear that this is a better week than last, Rene. I love your blossoms and flowers. I also wish apple blossoms lasted longer. They could last all summer so far as I'm concerned, my tree does not make nice apples, so it would be good for something then.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Cindy
Your flowers are just so pretty! It sure would be nice if the apple blossoms lasted through the summer. But, I guess that's one of the reasons we take time to appreciate their fleeting beauty. That last photo looks as though it was taken in another era.
ReplyDeleteHi Rene...your flowers are absolutely beautiful, you've obviously got a very green thumb.....love them against the white back drops....take care - Michelle xo
ReplyDeleteRene,
ReplyDeleteThis is such a soothing, calming post...even with the vivid floral hues. My favorite is the pitcher of roses...exquisite, dear friend!!!
Fondly,
Pat
Beautiful pictures Rene! I'm glad you are feeling better this week.

ReplyDeleteit is true that the blossoms fade so quickly...can't wait to get to heaven to see the flowers there. surely they will be more long lasting!
