Beltane Blossom
Happy Beltane, I hope you’ve all had or are having a lovely Mayday. I celebrated by taking blossom pictures, it seemed appropriate. There will be more serious posts in the next couple of days but for now, it’s time to soak up some spring eye candy!
White on white, one of my favourite colour combinations…

It’s always struck me as odd that magnolia is often decried as a really boring paint colour, when magnolia petals themselves are such an exquisitely subtle combination of pinks and creams.

The shapes of the magnolia blossoms delight me every year…

Although we don’t have one in our garden, there are lots of magnolia trees in Bristol. This is the last blossom left on my neighbour’s tree.

It’s not just white blossom, there’s plenty of pink around too…
The apple trees are in full bloom…
