Blossoms....


are E.V.E.R.Y.W.H.E.R.E.----and so unbelievably beautiful to behold...I just couldn't resist a perfect photo opportunity with them (and a few of the boys too:). The white trees are my favorite...We have a grove of them at the park just down the path from our house, and it simply feels wonderfully angelic standing amidst those bountifully laden breaches....almost as if you are surrounded by huge wedding dresses billowing about you. The fragrance is intoxicating. May takes the cake as my favorite month by far---as life explodes around us, the entire world so bursting with it, sometimes it almost seems as if there so much to spare that it simple spills over into me (I know I sound like a crazy hippie), but really...springtime is life-giving to a winter-worn soul. Enjoy my meager attempts at capturing this exquisite example of God's goodness is His creation. BTW-Jonas is laughing quite hard in some of these as he is "smelling" the flowers because they are "ticking me, Mommy" --translation: "tickling me, Mommy!"
