First Wild blossom of spring.

There's nothing quite like the show of lilacs in the spring. They are not only pretty, but they smell heavenly. I just love these flowers! HSS!

Beautiful petals

And color scheme.

Among the loveliest

Ever seen.

Such is the flower

Of one’s dreams

The iris

Is a floral queen.

Such grace in this iris...originally against a white background, why did I do that?!

Enjoy the week FLICKR friends, thanks for stopping by...Pat...xo

Spring is around the corner and the mating season is in full swing here in Florida with the snowy egrets in their plumage and will continue through May.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Thank you for your visit and support!

Many of the flowers that you connect with springtime are actually bulb flowers, planted back in fall.

It's the time for bluebells but I'm unlikely to get out to see them this year so here's one from the archives

We visited St Raphael on the Riviera yesterday for a very long lunch with old friends of my partner. On the way and not too far from where we live we drove through a huge field crammed full of poppies. We went back there this morning so I could take a few snaps. This is one of them. The land was flat and it was difficult to capture the full majesty of the acres of red poppies. Perhaps they're better just viewed from the confines of a passing car and left at that?!

I love my neighbour's tree that hangs over the fence into my garden ... I had to wait to be able to focus, it was a little breezy.

Wishing you all a lovely week, dear friends and visitors:-)

Happy Thursday my friends!

The year has gone so fast (at least for me) and now as autumn sets in, I start to miss spring when all the blossoms are out and the freshness of a new season is so exhilarating. I came across this in all my photos and dedicate it to my favorite season gone too soon! Thanks for your faves and comments!
