Here we are with the May long weekend – Victoria Day Weekend – the un-official start of summer in Canada. Let the rain begin. LOL
Gardeners are out planting tender annuals and loving the gentle rain.
Our local Horticultural Society is having their plant sale today. Lots of plants at discounted prices. Taken from their gardens to share. ❤

truth has at last left her well”~ Jean-Léon Gérôme

Photographs used to be considered “the truth”. However, with the ease of Photo editing I’m uncertain of how true any pictures are. Composite Photos, AI, Object removal….. Is there any truth in photography?
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers, mother figures and surrogate mothers.
