Lush Flora

April 25th, 2009

As spring turns into summer lush flowers seem to be bursting open everywhere. The air is filled with the sweet heady scent of apple blossoms and cherry blossoms, and the ground carpeted with rich purple bluebells. Everything is so alive. What a wonderful time of year!

I love the fresh green of new leaves and the sounds as they russel softly in the summer breeze.
