Pink, small, and punctual,
Aromatic, low,
Covert in April,
Candid in May,
Dear to the moss,
Known by the knoll,
Next to the robin
In every human soul.
Bold little beauty,
Bedecked with thee,
Nature forswears
Antiquity.
Emily Dickinson
Warm thanks and greetings to all Flickr friends, who encouraged me yesterday when I was down.
Texture: My own.
I cannot recall such a superb display of May blossom as we've had this year.
I can confidently cast a clout or two now!
For those with an interest in our sayings:
May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh, how far you are from home
Mornië utúlië ((darkness has come))
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië ((darkness has fallen))
A promise lives within you now
May it be the shadows call
Will fly away
May it be your journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun
Mornië utúlië ((darkness has come))
Believe and you will find your way
Mornië alantië ((darkness has fallen))
A promise lives within you now
A promise lives within you now
Cape May Warblers hunt insects among branches, sip nectar from flowers, or eat fruit. They take most food by probing and picking but also catch insects in midair or hover to pluck items from leaves and branches. (Cornell Lab)
After an abnormally sunny and warm April, May has brought much-needed rain and tempestuous clouds to the Olympic Peninsula.

A new week a new location. Skye is always fantastic and this is the view from the new cottage. I've yet to see Blaven , but I know it's waiting there to perform when the time is right. May you never is by John Martyn. May you never tire of mist and cloud over mountains.
Exquisitely patterned Eastern Pine Elfin butterfly taking nectar from flowers in a wild Dewberry bramble.
Rare find. Generally inhabits the canopy of naturally occurring, or planted, Pine stands. Produces one brood in early May and it's lifecycle is usually completed by the end of the month. Possibly somewhat common high above, yet rarely seen at ground level.
May 11am hour. Even though this tree is not getting as much water this year, if you watch the skies, its blossoms are spectacular!

Perhaps because it's been on the dry side, there haven't been many good sunsets lately, but May 14 had a nice one. There is a Mallard family out for a cruise in the distance.
Thank you so much, Avocae and Christina, for using my photos for your new group covers. :D
