Perfect description for today. Here is a gallery of florals from walking the dogs this morning.

Inspired by Terri of Second Wind Leisure’s Sunday Stills: Fabulous Seasonal #florals. Our rather chilly spring has kept many things blooming that would usually be about done by now, such as the daffodils and tulips. Yet the usual suspects, like the wood hyacinth, crabapple and peony are valiantly going ahead as planned. It seems like everything is blooming right now.

Also for Cee’s Flower of the Day.

I spent most of April in China.
