Bluebells showing off

They are ... but it just amazes me every year how incredible a sight it is in this country in May to see carpets of colour like this. A few shots I took yesterday on my way home.
Also one last blossom one of another carpet of petals on the front lawn, blown by the tempest style winds we had last week ...

    1. Yes, Russia is also growing bells. In my region they bloom in summer.

  3. there's a lovely haiku by Basho that translates as,

    Under the cherry tree,
    Blossom soup
    Blossom salad
