white background

 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
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.

  21. 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.
    Hugs, Cindy

  22. 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.
