May is all around :)

The month of May is well under way. And even though we still have a few frosty nights, there is no turning back now. Spring is all around, and summer is not very far away.

It is so nice to just walk around these days, looking around and taking it all in.

You might live in a place in this world, where this seems strange. But if you've ever been as far north (or south - on the other side of the world) as we live, you know of what I am talking about. We have long and cold winters and some of us don't see the sun for weeks in the winter time.

So when King Winter finally let go, we really appreciate the few months of spring and summer. As the days are warmer and longer (and for some, the sun never sets), you'll find us trying to make the most of it "everywhere". We'll be having fun in our parks, our forests, our hillsides or mountains, our beaches or in our gardens.

And you'll find people like me walking around with a camera, taking a lot of pictures and having a great time. And here's a sample of shots taken on such a "walk-around" in the beginning of May.
