Last of the spring blossoms

[Mousetoescamper]

I took the photos in my back yard on April 27 and May 3. Thunderstorms during the past few days have left but a few ragged flowers on the lilac, azalea and tulips featured below. My perennial summer flowers--day lily, climbing clematis, iris, yucca--should be blooming next month.



I planted the bulbs last fall

The lilac bloomed beautifully this year

1. How beautiful all of these are, my dear Mousetoescamper!

The light, clarity and color -- so superb.

I especially love the close-ups. Vivid, stunning images!

2. Too bad spring flowers don't last longer.

Maybe it’s my imagination,but my flowering trees and shrubs seem to bloom earlier than before. In years gone by, I always had fragrant crabapple blossoms to enjoy on Mother’s Day - This year and last they popped out in late April and lasted about three days, then were cleaned away by the wind.

Your photos are just lovely.
