Come with me under the blossom skirts of Spring, and lie on the soft damp earth with the sound of bees busy in your ears. Sun filtered through blossom flesh takes on luminous sparkles and dazzling glints which catch the corners of your eyes. The breeze fills with the swish and swirl of waves washing through a thousand petal underskirts.
Each soft sigh of Spring plucks a million petals of confetti, grown for just this moment. Clouds of flowers swirl and dance in the rivers of the breeze, delighting the eye and heart in momentary celebrations of springs abundance. Sunlight furled petals offer to lead us fresh into the flow of summers new wild abandon. Let your heart drink in this earthy joy, refreshed and replenished each morning in fresh dew.

Thanks for sharing this, I enjoyed the Spring theme and love the light coming through the white blossom. I have just started a poetry blog here on WordPress in case you have time to have a look? Wishing you a sunny day, Sam 🙂
love the way the sun comes through the blossoms… the sun-kissed beauty of spring! beautiful poetic post, Seonaid!!
Many thanks Alexandra, this is a blossom tree I do like to lie under….it’s in my front garden and a very peaceful spot😊
Oh my goodness, these are gorgeous! What an eye you have, Seonaid.
Spring is my favorite time of year. You captured it perfectly.
Tim
Thanks Tim…I love Spring too…but also autumn💕✨
So beautiful, Seonaid! Spring has been so delightful this year…long lasting and abundant in flowers. We still have the lilacs here, but the beautiful cherries are all over.
We’re still covered in blossom here…and lovely sunny skies most of the time😆💕
😍
Beautiful blossoms and enriching words, an ode to spring.
It’s such a beautiful and inspiring time….filled with creative energy 💕
We are going into winter now, but not winter as you know it…
Ha, that’s so true😆💕but I think I just love the turning of the wheel and the steady cycle of change through the year😊
❤
I’m lost in the beauty of it all 😀
Well it’s a beautiful place to get lost Julie😊💕
Such stunning photos of the petals against the clouds, Seonaid. I love the idea of petal underskirts and confetti. Perfect descriptions. 🙂
There is just no escaping the girlyness of blossom😆💕
Stunningly beautiful! Lovely lighting. I agree, magic words 🙂
Wonderful praise indeed Amy, many thanks….the clouds and blossom did set eachother off nicely😆
Seonaid, your magic in eye and words is stellar, as usual. Those blooms are stunning. They are like being a bride again.
Yes, your comment made me smile Brenda….I feel that every time I sit under a blossom tree✨💕✨
And today is my anniversary. 🙂 19 years of smelling lilacs and remembering.
Lilacs….there’s another Spring favourite of mine. Must see if I can catch some nice images before the blossoms fade again for this year😊
Yes, I’ve planted some in my yard. I smell them every spring and smile.
Oh, and happy anniversary Brenda!💞
Thanks!
Oh you take the most beautiful photos. hasn’t it been a beautiful spring? 🙂
Wonderful Gilly, and the flowers have been so abundant this year💕😊
Lovely words and pictures Seonaid. Could feel the texture of the petals from here.
Isn’t it delightful when the light fills out the petals texture like that John….I do love petal filtered light!
Beautiful; these capture the spirit and essence of Spring 😀
Blossom and spring certainly go together in my mind Su….along with bluebells, primroses…and lush green grass!
… and rain. I think Spring is our wettest season.
It’s been sunny and warm here this last few weeks….glorious💕✨
Lovely; long may it last 🙂
You’ve really captured the feel of the moment here Seonaid. I imagined, as I read, that I was under one or another tree-in-flower. I imagined the wind blowing and the gone-by petals launching into the breeze. … I compared my view with that which you’ve provided here and they were in good agreement. How in the world did you get the exposure right on the petals here while at the same time not overdoing the whole thing while looking directly into the sun (especially in the second image)? Nice … all around. Thanks. D
Truthfully David I’m not entirely sure how I did that, but as you know I do love to shoot into the sun, and somehow or other it usually works out. I think I had enough light filtered by the petals 🙂 Delighted that I had you lying there on the grass beside me!
Splendid celebration and great pictures 🙂
Many thanks Christiane, blossom is always such an abundant celebration!
Delicious! 🙂 🙂 It’s grey again today but one day at the weekend I was walking through a swirl of pink ‘snow’ as the wind scurried it about. Wonderful!
its magic isn’t it Jo, and we seem to have had more than our fair share of sunshine up here recently….fluffy clouds and blue skies are the perfect match for blossom snow 🙂
Breathtaking close ups
Thanks Cynthia….and I only used my iPhone….first time I’ve tried it with flowers😊💕
Lovely to see you delight in your passage to Summer as we head into Winter here. The photos are stunning. Enjoy beautiful Skye for us too 🙂
Always Simon…..and yes funny the different seasons across the globe….Spring is so abundant and forceful here it feels as though it must be happening everywhere!!
So beautiful – in word and picture!
This trees blossom always makes me smile with its abundance Fi….it flowers late, but puts its whole heart into it😊💕
Ahhhhhh, I feel totally refreshed and my heart smiles! Thank you!
Always my pleasure Gwynn, and doesn’t nature do refresh so well in spring time?
Nature always adds something special and new to my life! I don’t have the abundance of floral and fauna that you have but I have the eagles, heron, seagulls, ducks, and ravens to talk to. Oh yes, an occasional seal or otter waves as they swim by me! 😉
Well they sound like perfect company Gwynn😊
Oh, so gorgeous!! 😊💖
Ridiculously gorgeous Trini💕✨
Your photos and beautiful words remind me of an ornamental apple I can see out my window. It is full of smaller pink blossoms that are falling like confetti to the ground where it looks like pink mulch. Beautiful post. 🙂
Blossom is so pretty as it falls Judy, transitory beauty. Your pink blossom sounds gorgeous….a little like my ancient apple tree….as though someone hand painted the petal tips pink💕😊
Beautifully worded Seonaid! Love the bit about the bees as I have done exactly that and delighted in it 🙂
Aren’t they magical at this time of year Sarah……I sat under a tree that was humming contentedly with busy happy bees!!
Oh just heavenly 😀 I love seeing the huge bumblebees in their looping dance around blossoms!
Yes, I can’t help but smile seeing bumble bees at work…they seem so hazardous yet always pull off their manoeuvres 😁😆
I know!! Science has only just been able to prove that they can actually fly 😉 I always want to stroke them!
That’s such a cute idea Sarah😆
Well they’re so fuzzy 😉
Wonderful invitation and closeups on the flowers, Seonaid. They really do look like blossom skirts. xo
I love to sit under them looking up through the light filled petals….it’s a place of dreams💕
How absolutely gorgeous!
Why thank you….Spring is such a flirt isn’t she 😆
Oh but it’s your way with words, delicately weaving your magic, as ever. Px
Delighted you enjoyed the weaving😊
Beautiful, dear Seonaid. Thank you.
Always a pleasure to share natures dance David Xx
