A spring day

The skies may have been threatening but what a gorgeous day. Everywhere I turn there is something shouting "Look at me! This way!", another flower, an orange tip butterfly, goldfinches and swallows.
With the dogs I'm never allowed to stay still for more than a minute, so catching a snap of butterflies and whooshing birds is not likely. But as long as it's not outrageously windy, I can do a flower or two. And the moth was most generous and hardly fluttered an antenna.

Serious asphodel envy here - I hope nothing comes along and munches it.

What a great slide show, thanks.

Yes...there are days when being alive certainly seems infinitely preferable to being dead. Nice accompanying slide show.

Thanks for your comment on mine - yup, I'd love a woodburner, a new roof, a gardener and cleaner please...oh, and a ton of wine and chocolate...

Ta F'Pot - spring is luscious at the moment.

M'ear - I could only find a piccy of a yellow one in my wee book - but it looked like an asphodel to me...

Ta SS. My pleasure.

YP - certainly that's true for me.
