May on a May morning



I peer through the undergrowth at a vision of bluebells and feel as if all has woken from a long sleep.


The may* was out this May morning - but it was too cold to cast a clout.**


There are things of interest in these hedgerows but some figures remain shadowy.


And I find myself treading a familiar path, edged with Queen Anne's Lace.***



*Crataegus monogyna: may blossom, or hawthorn flowers.
**Ne'er cast a clout before the may is out, or, don't abandon those woolly jumpers too early in spring.
***Anthriscus sylvestris, or less poetically, cow parsley.
