A glorious past Sicilian spring in May:

wild spring flowers; the planting of a terrace above village rooftops; fields, mountains and valleys so green; gardens in bloom by the sea; the last of the winter snow; bright lidos ready; and a gentle, spring light before the coming of the dazzling Sicilian summer.

Scroll down and enjoy a past Sicilian spring in the month of May, 2014.

The bloom of the Indian Fig, fico d'india

The church of La Commenda, Chiesa della Commenda built in 1177 and spring fields, Polizzi Generosa,the Madonie

An evening in Taormina

Looking to Cefalu, the lido set up

Wild poppies, the Madonie Mountains

The last of Mount Etna's spring snow, seen from Taormina

The planting of a terrace, Palazzo Notar Nicchi, Polizzi Generosa

The Madonie Mountains

The gardens of Hotel Villa Igiea, by the Tyrrhenian Sea, Palermo

The Madonie

Salve,

Suzanne
