Bealtaine part 2

What an amazing and bountiful selection of entries for yesterday's Tiny Tuesday Challenge with the theme Bealtaine/Samhain, depending where you are geographically. There was a wonderful variety of flowers, insects, still lifes (?), Celtic knotwork, green men, a Celtic twist to May the Forth, and three beautifully crafted tableaux featuring fire ceremonies which made me laugh out loud! Impossible to select five faves but it has to be done, so here goes:
Donna Wanna's Samhain, a beautifully crafted and subtle still life
ninniex: Celtic Winter festival who braved some very unseasonal weather, to find some shamrock!
Maureen6002 : Welcoming Summer, a beautifully written and illustrated poem by her son, in Welsh
davidc: bealtaine, who must have spent a very happy hour or two with his playmobile, great attention to detail
Hyperion: Lily of the Valley, a beautifully lit study, with interesting references to the BVM who's month it is

Honourable mentions to 
My4Seasons_DK for a delicate study in green
Hanulli for another amazingly detailed miniature tableau
Frani for an abundance of pink blossoms
Cate1 for her natural Celtic brooch
dfb24 for another highly imaginative cattle ceremony
Clazel for some very personal thoughts re Bealtaine
And Dollydoug for her excellent musical recommendations which are here:
Beltane 
Music for Beltane

It is actually Bealtaine (have you noticed how many different ways it can be spelled) today and I realise I should have given more information:  it's never too late and here's how to celebrate in style at Uisneach , the Navel of Ireland! 


Oh, and thank you so much for the love for my own spirally celtic bluebelly offering - that was unexpected!

I've been up close and personal at the stone circle to celebrate (thanks Bobsblips) the day that's in it.

And it's Joe's birthday - we had an early morning/evening catch up. Missing him today.

If all those links work I'll impress myself!
