May White

May is a colourful month. So here are some white things spied around Gribin Isaf today.

We enjoyed the Dandelions in their yellow glory and now they give a second delight as they send off their seeds far and wide

Daisies, like Dandelions, should not be taken for granted

One thought on “May White

  1. I can see for ordinary everyday use its when I want to read a book it’s not good.. It would be good to talk on the phone after I have been to the hospital tomorrow.

I thought perhaps mine was having a year off but now it is covered with flower. I grew this one from a berry and now it is almost as tall as the copper beech. M
