My garden: May sketches

Where I live, May is the most glorious garden month. By summer, certainly by the end of June, the heat and frequent droughts we have here have turned out the lights in our gardens. Well, late September and October can be gorgeous, too, but we're not talking about them, are we :D.

I have posted a couple of other sketches from this series on my blog Laurelines.

Happy May to us all!

Peonies

"Peonies make me think of you,
how they open, and open, unfolding
petal after petal, so lush, so brazen;"
EXTRACT FROM "What I'll Never Tell You" - Sharon Brogan - WATERMARK - a poet's notebook




After not having done flowers for quite some time, I've discovered the pleasure of one of nature's beauties again. Like trees, no two flowers are ever the same and can provide hours of pleasure in the study thereof. Summer always provides one with plenty of flowers for inspiration.
