May (fais ce qu'il te plaît) seems to me to be one of the rainiest months in this part of France. That goes against the conventional wisdom that says May is beautiful compared to, for example, April (ne te découvre pas d'un fil). It's not raining this morning but rain is forecast to start falling at mid-day and continue off and on this afternoon.

Great wildlife pictures! Sorry about all the rain.

I'm glad the lizard is actually small- otherwise I'd run! Beautiful finch. The rain has got to stop sometime....
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness, Ken, today's photos are especially beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat green guy is very colorful!
ReplyDeleteLove that photo of the Goldfinch on the golden gravel! I love it when animals know where to blend in with the environment. That first photo of the wildflowers looks like a beaded piece of art.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful colors today! And your title made me hum the tune about May from Camelot. - Chrissoup
ReplyDeleteA traditional English equivalent to your April tag is "cast ne'er a clout till May be out" - though some say that refers to may=hawthorn flowers.
