Last year, during May, I was in Australia and witnessed the autumn in Melbourne. This year, in May I was in Scandinavia, witnessing the extremely short spring, or the turning of winter to summer in a couple of days. How inspiring can that be! I saw the lilacs burst into bloom in a day.
I have never seen so many Bird Cherry trees as I saw this year in Sweden and then in Finland. They were everywhere and full in bloom with they white flowers. The scent of lilacs was so strong that I could not escape it the whole time. How invigorating!
The meadows were full of flowers, like I have never remembered and the pine trees had such long growth spurs that I was totally amazed.
The gardeners in Scandinavia seem to have really done a good job at choosing the colours for the tulip arrangements around the place. Pink and purple was the colour of the year, and I even saw black tulips around. How fascinating was that!
And the Rhododendrons were represented in many colours as well, in every place. I was totally taken by them.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful spring in Scandinavia. Both Sweden and Finland presented me their best. It is so inspiring and that is why I am telling you so!
Be inspired by the spring, be inspired by everything!
