May beckons and Summer visitors are starting to return.
House-martins are setting up home and we look forward to seeing little heads popping out of their nests. They look so cute, we can forgive the mess they leave behind!
A stork glides in the blue and, with anticipation, we look out for the swifts and their evening aerial displays which are so entertaining.
This is such a beautiful time of year. The countryside looks so fresh and new. So many shades of green and splashes of yellow with dandelions galore, bright forsythia and fields gleaming with brilliant, golden rape seed flowers. Pink cherry blossom is still evident, joined now by lilac blooms and pretty pale-mauve wisteria. In gardens and window-boxes geraniums add splashes of red and pink, ready to take pride of place as tulips start to fade. Fruit trees' blossom attracts the bees and butterflies.
Spring has definitely sprung and summer isn't far away.
Lovely description of the changing season - summer with all its abundance almost here! Doesn't it lift the spirits?
