Spring moments... cheerfulness in the Spring light!
Spring, mix of shady or bright skies...
sunrise, sunset, blossoms, new buds...
and green all over to cover the daily grey routine...
To all of you: A Happy First Day of May! Happy May!

...."What made me behave that way?
Using words I never say?
I can only think it must be love
Oh anyway, it's looking like a beautiful day
Someone tell me how I feel
It's silly wrong, but vivid right"...

(...) many countries around the world will be taking a public holiday Friday to celebrate the International Labour Day, and Google is marking the event with a new Doodle... (...)
The Google Doodle honors the Labor Day origins with graphics showing traditional manual labor tools such as a wrench and tape measure."
"The date was chosen for International Workers' Day by the Second International to commemorate the Haymarket affair, which occurred in Chicago on 4 May 1886..."
(...) "In Romania, 1 May, known as the International Labour Day (Ziua internațională a muncii), the International Workers' Day (Ziua internațională a oamenilor muncii), or simply 1/First of May (1/Întâi Mai), is an official public holiday. During the communist regime, like in all former Eastern Bloc countries, the day was marked by large state-organized parades in most towns and cities, to which many workers were de facto required to participate. After the Romanian Revolution of 1989, 1 May continues to be an official public holiday, but without any state organised events or parades. Most people celebrate together with friends and family, organising picnics and barbecues. It is also the first day of the year when people, especially those from the southeastern part of the country including the capital Bucharest, go to spend the day in one of the Romanian Black Sea resorts."

Also:
"Bellis perennis is a common European species of daisy, of the Asteraceae family, often considered the archetypal species of that name. Many related plants also share the name "daisy", so to distinguish this species from other daisies it is sometimes qualified as common daisy, lawn daisy or English daisy. Bellis perennis is native to western, central and northern Europe, but widely naturalised in most temperate regions including the Americas and Australasia."

So, very thankful, each and every day, to be inspired...
ma bucur mult ca ai revenit cu acest articol închinat primaverii :) Fericita pare si pisicuta ta, ce ipostaze simpatice ne-ai prezentat! Am descoperit intre fotografiile cu flori ca deja la tine in curte au inflorit trandafirii - superbi! la noi vlastarii abia au capatat frunze, nici urma de boboci. Am observat si o serbare de familie, dar fotografia este prea mica sa imi pot da seama daca exista si un tort pe masa.
RăspundețiȘtergereDraga Alexa, iti doresc un start bun in luna mai. Sa savurezi fiecare clipa!
Multumesc mult, Carmen si asemenea cu tot dragul, un Mai insorit si plin de bucurii! Daaa...a fost si o serbare si un tort, chiar in prima zi, de Pasti, petrecuta la sora mea (florile din colaj sunt din gradina ei)!
ȘtergereApril a fost un succes calendaristic, insorit si cu surprize!
Calde salutari si numai bine!
Wonderful variety of facial expressions and poses in the first mosaic of the cat and love the varied tones of colour in the last several photos.

RăspundețiȘtergereWonderful Spring collages ... They make me smile! And I enjoyed the tribute to MayDay even though I'm a little late reading .... When my kids were little we celebrated by giving flowers to the neighbors ... I don't think people do that much any more.

Draga Alexa,
RăspundețiȘtergerehow much I like your work!!! All these wonderful pictures, colours and words in this amazing post!!!
The faces of your tiny cat are so, so cute and I could listen and watch the beautiful video, which has touched me very much!!!
I also love your edit of the pics, especially the red one with the white twigs and the flying tiny hearts!!!
A wonderful tribute to the May and to the life :)
I was born in the GDR and so I also know these parades, which the state had organized :)...(I was eleven years old in 1989)...today it's also an official public holiday in Germany and we enjoy the free time at the first day in May :)
Lăsați-o să meargă bine cu tine...Have a wonderful week and also an enchanting May :)
Salutări calde,
Katrin :)
I love how you have captured the light and played with it creating so much beauty.
RăspundețiȘtergereYour kitty is sweet playing and posing Alexa. I really like how you played with the tree branches against the sky, changing the colour and mood of the photo. The last one in pink with bokeh hearts is my favourite.
RăspundețiȘtergereThank you for linking to Mosaic Monday.
Happy Workers Day to you Alexa. Thank you for the history lesson, I love learning new things. Your cat is so cute. My cats are very excited about spring and sitting in the sun coming through the windows. You have wonderful happy photos in many colors.. Thank you for linking in... Michelle
