Picture This #450 ~ The Month Of May

Good Morning all, thanks to Benni for a lovely theme. I have done very little photography this Month as I have been working hard on the garden which has had a lot of hard surface work done over the month and I have repotted many plants so I have just been outside and taken some shots of the garden. I hope its OK I put one extra in because I could not choose between these last 5 shots. Have a great weekend .

Picture This #450 ~ The Month Of May

Hello everyone. Thanks for putting my gopher turtle as banner picture. He's thrilled.

It's a warm and lovely May and a song from the musical "Camelot" has been running through my head. Maybe you remember it: "The Lusty Month of May". To me that means the joy and beauty we experience during this season.  Let's see pictures you have taken in May, of flowers, animals, landscapes, people.

May is robin nesting time.

These umbrella shaped plants are North American wildflowers called Mayapples.

Hi everyone, this is Mitch and I'll be hosting this week. In the UK it's a holiday weekend, so lots of folks will be heading  out to their favourite places to relax, as just for once the forecast is for dry warm weather. So this week's theme is: RELAX!! Humans and animals are both good at relaxing, so a couple of each from me.

1) Cats are the experts at relaxing, as my neighbour's cat demonstrates.

2) This man was just sitting watching the world go by.

3) This cygnet was having a relaxing nap in the warm sunshine.

4) This guy was feeling relaxed, seemingly without a worry in the world.

Wow... Mitch, what a surprise! It makes me feel honoured... thanks!

I'm well aware of my lack of regularity as a member of this fantastic Group. For several reasons, over the past months and probably in the months to come, my irregularity will continue.

Black & White or White and Black, as you like to name it...
The three photos were very recently taken in Oporto.
