May Days

Something is happening in the willows... little animals... what are they doing?


 The catkins have such beautiful coloring - grey, yellow, orange-red, white - like glow!
 Are they really 'eating'  the pollen? So it seems...


 Rain did wonders to the nature - leaves push out, above rowan and below lilac.


 Small tortoiseshell is one of those butterflies that spend the winter as adults and is ready to fly early in the spring. Other such are brimstone and mourning cloak.

 The bird-cherry blooming at the northern end of the house is magnificent! And  the cool spring evening  is filled with fragrance...

 The flowers in close-ups are so intricate and complex - and how many of them are in the whole tree?
