Rain again, but at least it is pretty

Another day of rain. Rain is the reason Britain is such a green and pleasant land but rather annoying. At least the raindrops look beautiful.

May's garden treasures. Malvern, Worcestershire.

 May is the month when the garden really starts to come into its own. Colour appears everywhere, blossom on trees, clematis climbing, flowers in the tubs and flowers beds. The sights and smells are a treat for the senses.

Cherry blossom

Not only is the overall effect magnificent, but each individual bloom is a work of art in itself.  The detail is particularly easy to see in the detail of the aqualigias structure and contrasting coloured petals.
