My special day in the middle of June. Started like this - fragrant red roses. And ended with even more roses. I am now longer growing in the physical aspect, ignoring the scales from time to time... Getting younger is not quite right too, so getting wiser hopefully fits the day. MidJune was midweek too this year. Yes I am using the Midsummer idea - love it. It was a lovely day and hopefully the beginning of a lovely year. I have some gifts to pick up myself too, so the start feels good. No baking this year - such hot weather lately. So I picked a nice tall cake and saved some hours by the oven. Or just put them off for calmer evenings LOL. Plus I even managed to find a place for my car in a busy hour just a few meters away from the pastry shop in a busy crowded area with no parking lots - the birthday luck.

Vivid, spectacular in pink! Took dozens of pictures, so beautiful! Love the herb among them. Every stage - bud, flower, falling petals... - is so beautiful. I have not taken pictures of the fields this June. They were gorgeous! However I managed to take these pictures just a day before the flowers faded. They were so many - a wall of pink flowers before sunset... with herbs here and there... Love June and June flowers!

A lovely bouquet for a lovely holiday in May. Bright colours, variety of shapes and flowers! Love the May flowers - wild, garden and herbs. This bunch of flowers smelled great too. Another busy, busy week here. Had no time to take a picture of this week's bouquet before it started losing its petals...

Тези не са мои. Но пък са хубави! И снимани скоро. А и моравата е чудна. Родендрон и многогодишни на туфи... ярко, свежо и празнично... като май! Моята градинка също добива свят. Първите цветя започнаха да цъфтят полечка. А кактусите май дори са на път да прецъфтят...

This picture was taken a week ago during a weekend walk. It was a beautiful Sakura, heavy with  blossom - big, heavy, pink flowers on the sakura alley here. The trees are relatively young  - less than 10 year since they made the little sakura alley. Each flower looks like ornament hanging on the tree and they all make it look so festive. And the trees in the alley...  them make me think of a garden party...
