I am going to join in with Dawn’s Festival of Spring which will last for 10 -12 weeks in celebration of this season and share something that is happening in or around my neighbourhood each week.
May is when the blossom appears – frothy clouds of pink and white, as long as the wind and rain holds off. Such a joy to see.

“And after April, when May follows,
And the white-throat builds, and all the swallows!
Hark, where my blossomed pear tree in the hedge
Leans to the field and scatters on the clover
Blossoms and dewdrops – at the bent
spray’s edge –
That’s the wise thrush; he sings each song
twice over,
Lest you should think he never could recapture
The first fine careless rapture!”~ Robert Browning from Home-Thoughts, from Abroad
Cornwall in Colours 
I’m loving the show of blossom all around and your photos are lovely. Love the poem too. 🙂
Thanks Sally.
Beautiful blossom photos and the perfect poem to accompany them 🌸
A brief time, but it is always a joy to see the blossom.
Love blossom, fabulous photos
Thanks MM.
Beautiful images, Jude – nothing like a world full of blossoms to lift the heart.
Where my daughter lives many of the streets have ornamental cherry trees planted in the verges, it looks stunning at this time of year.
May is certainly a colourful month in Cornwall! Love that first photo 💞.
Not so much blossom in Cornwall though as other parts of the country, most of these photos are from the NT gardens.
Gorgeous blossom! Our front garden is now studded with pink petals after the rain – but it’s lovely while the blossom lasts.
