Absolutely beautiful and it looks so inviting....makes me want to walk barefoot thru them and have the cool petals squish between my toes....

I love the petal carpets we get at this time of the year!

gifts from the faeries, who love to hide imperfections......or perhaps they are pointing at the beauty of the imperfections.
Can't wait for the blossoms to fill the trees and streets here.........a couple more weeks and they will be here.

Oh ... that looks like my street! Every morning as I head down the road to the tube, I feel like I am in a wedding and God is throwing peddles at my feet to celebrate.
(yes, I have a vivid imagination)

I would take my shoes off and do a pink petal dance, let the frafrance and colour fill my whole body.
