Joy abounds from the beautiful spring bloomings …
… but even after they have fallen …
… they lend allure to a concrete sidewalk.
Happy Thursday.

Dogwood Tree
British Columbia’s provincial flower is the Pacific dogwood.
The name comes from the fact that sailors used the wood of this tree to make nails, otherwise known as dags – or later, dogs – in ship repairs.
It has been British Columbia’s provincial flower since 1956.
So elegant and sparkling in either white or the dogwood’s alternative colour, pink, it’s another marvellous addition to the spring pantheon of beauty.
Happy Tuesday.
Merry Spring
I love this “spring tree” I found inside an office building in London, Ontario that is undergoing conversion to mixed use. Comprised of artificial flowers, it nevertheless looked pretty and fresh.
It was lovely to see, especially as the weather outside was rainy, windy and overcast.
Happy Sunday.
Church Tower
London, Ontario, has many historical buildings that stretch back two to three centuries. I liked the look of this approximately 150-year old church tower silhouetted in the waning light of day as a street light began to take over.
Happy Saturday.
May 10, 2023 Flowerday
Beauteous white …
… brilliant white …
… so much different from winter white …
… a snowflake flower.
Happy Friday.
A Mountain View
We recently drove through the Rocky Mountains of Banff and Lake Louise on a beautifully sunny day.
You can see that there’s still snow on the peaks and this being the mountains, the breeze was brisk, but the sun shining on our backs as we took a short walk to stretch our legs was beautifully warm.
Greetings from the gorgeous spring Rocky Mountains of British Columbia and Alberta.
Yellow Fields
I’m not sure what is growing in these fields …
… but it’s sure pretty!
Happy Tuesday.
Evening Storm
A storm passes over …
… and starts to clear.
Happy Saturday.
May 3 Flowerday Scents
Tree blossoms are one of spring’s priceless gifts.
Although I could hear bees near this plum tree I didn’t spot any, but I could understand why they were visiting. The scent of the blossoms was heady, intoxicating, and very honey-like.
And, of course, lilacs have such a wonderful scent, too.
Happy flower Friday.
A Lovely Day
We are heading out on Saturday for a big road trip to Toronto and back which will be closely followed by another one around Iceland. Since at the moment we’re so busy getting ready, I’m closing comments here but I’ll still be visiting your blogs and keeping up with your posts.
If you’re in the northern hemisphere, I hope that spring has sprung for you or that you’re getting close. Happy Thursday. 🌺
