My husband and I have been taking lots of walks at our favorite park, Natirar. It has been a wonderful spring so far, and we are beginning to see the fruits of summer appearing in the hedgerows and fields. The air is sweet with the scent of honeysuckle. There are daisies in the fields, and the berries are beginning to ripen. A beautiful stand of dame's rocket blooms at the edge of the field. The nodding heads of milk weed bow down over the edge of the stream. Summer is almost here. :)

Honeysuckle reminds me of the swing at my grandma Holt's house. I'd swing there and just smell.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos and mosaic of your park, Mary! I've been noticing that the honeysuckle has been wonderful lately. Thanks for hosting Mosaic Monday!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place for a walk! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place to take a lot of walks. So that's what honeysuckle looks like. I don't think what we've been calling honeysuckle can be the same. Time to do some research. Thanks, Mary, for all you do with Mosaic Monday!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful Mary!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place to wander! The photographs are beautiful too! :)
ReplyDeleteI did seem that spring went quickly and now summer has begun. Lovely pictures of your favourite park.
ReplyDeleteHI Mary
ReplyDeleteWhat is that unusual flower in the first photo? I love honeysuckle and that verdant grassy path!
My raspberries that I have growing in a big flower pot are already turning red. I get just enough to put in my oatmeal every morning ;-)

Hi Mary! Almost nothing smells better than honeysuckle! And...are those blackberries? If they are, they're my favorites! I'm joining you today! Hope you've had a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
One of my favorite things to paint are blackberry bushes. We hardly have any around to pick from any more due to development.
ReplyDeleteWhat is that flower at the top? Looks a bit like an allium that I grow.
Thanks for hosting.
Wow~ I feel as if I am out at the farm! Everything is in full bloom and is so beautiful. It looks to be a lovely place to spend time and wander. Thanks for hosting and showing us this wondrous place.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, the scents and sounds of summer have arrived. Thanks for sharing such a peaceful place in your mosaic Mary.
ReplyDeletethe flower in the top picture is milk weed. the flower on the left in the mosaic is dame's rocket. the flower on the left in the mosaic is honeysuckle. the berries are blackberries. :)
ReplyDeleteThe milk weed is so beautiful! What a great park to take walks in! Love it!

ReplyDeleteLook at all of that beautiful, lush green ~ lovely! I also see sweet honeysuckle :)
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful peaceful photos Mary...our Southern summer is almost unbearable even now...it's been running close to 100 every day and our flowers are wilting but those darn Japanese Beetles are loving and devouring everything...
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures Mary, esp that milkweed right at the top. Never heard of it or seen it till today. Hope you had a great weekend....! Have a fabulous day and thanks once again for hosting MM!
