We’ve had snow, hail and ice in May.
But that doesn’t stop the fruit trees from blossoming.
Down at the churchyard, the trees are
Like fireworks and petals
Lie on the ground like snow.
Ruby doesn’t mind …
She always has time to stop and admire the flowers.
For more petalled beauty, please go to: Our World Tuesday.

Glorious photographs, Fiona! The color you captured is exquisite. As you know, pink is one of my favorite colors 🙂
Wow, can’t believe you had hail and ice this month!?! We’ve had nothing but rain, heat, and high humidity. I can only imagine how this summer is going to be 😦
Love the picture of Ruby!
Have a great week, my friend!

A Clash of the Cultures theme, for sure! I believe the shots are of Japanese cherry trees . . . right?

They are cherry blossoms, but I’m not sure if they are real

It’s beginning to look positively Spring-like there, even if the temperatures are not as warm as we’d like. It’s been similar here with occasional showers of hail and chilly winds.
