Wet May

When I think of May 2013, I think of rain.

 

Occasionally, there was a short rain break -- time to take photos of the lilac which I got from the neighbors.

White and purple lilac.

Gorgeous -- just think of the heavenly fragrance.

Then there was another rainy day. In the evening we had the most beautiful sunset though.

The sky seemed to be on fire.

The light was even reflected in dark windows.

The rain helped the plants to thrive.

The few sun hours were a delight.

The fern is as lush as ever.

Colorful leaves in the garden.

A bit of yellow between stones.

A bit outside Munich there's this beautiful field of tulips which you can buy.

I just had to take a few photos.

Never mind the mud I got on my shoes.

Really a lot of mud -- big time shoe polishing afterwards.

But the photos were worth the effort.

Glorious, beautiful tulips.

And a bit of sunshine, too.

Now summer can come -- bye to the fleece jacket and hello to a T-shirt!
