Monthly ATC Challenge May and June

Blackbird singing it's heart out

from a Hawthorn bush,

raindrops and blossom.

For May I remembered the old saying,

" Ne're cast a clout til May be out "

which you can read about 

here

I love  Hawthorn blossom ( May ) but prefer Blackthorn

 which yields beautiful blueish, purple Sloes in the Autumn.

The birds were nesting in May 

and it rained and rained...

 June has been a total washout too

but because of that, the hedgerows are lush

and full of life.

The birds a frenzy of activity feeding their young.

 For June

 I decided to represent the gorgeous shades of pink Valerian

bursting out of nooks and crannies along lanes

and banks of daises growing along road sides.

They've been left longer this year before cutting

due to the rain

and are very pretty to see.
