Life awakens at Spring…

Awakening: the sleeping now awaken.
Flowers, sun, black and white, photography, monochromes, B&W,

I love it as Spring brings to life the hibernating trees and far away birds. The sun and rains, the chirping of birds, flowers hither and yon: the black and white canvas now colored with life!
Oh- how I missed it all!

Pink flowers, blue sky, sun, spring, summer.

That blue above and flowers below…

A particularly dull day that was. And within a few minutes the sky opened up and the blue kept getting bluer, and the day brighter. The flowers in my garden were in full bloom. The flowers speak how delighted I was. Life was good in that moment.

Saved and tucked away in memory for the rainy day…

Dark Dense Clouds and a Raindrop

Raindrop under the dense clouds
A raindrop against the dark dense clouds. Monochrome # 015

The heart flutters with excitement
As the seasons change guard
Ever since it did in a lil’ girls backyard
It rained and rained. Then it rained some more
And awoke the buds after a peaceful slumber
Flirting, in the half- asleep, half -awake stupor
With a raindrop, that stayed as long as it could
And then bid adieu to the sombre bud
The dark dense clouds still so heavy with love
A raindrop too many’d soon descend from above…

To Spring, and all things green!

“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot, and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.”

-Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

After my first entry which was entirely different, this one is to Spring, and all things green!

Spring. First leaves of a tree. Blue Sky. Photography.
Baby leaves in the blue old sky!
Green, asparagus, copper, pan, photography.
Greens are good for the soul!
Walk in the green forest. Path. Trek. Hike. Photography. Photos.h
The path through the tall green trees!
Green. Monochrome. shaded. Photography.
Color me some green!
Fresh bright green leaves of the trees against the sky. Photography.
I love trees and the sky!

Mint Oreos…
Spring. First leaves of a tree. Blue Sky. Photography.
The bright green of the young leaves that steal my heart…

Skyscape # 004 / A hundred little birds and more

It was a particularly sunny and warm day, and the sky was dotted with an amoeba-like shape made up of lots and lots of black wings, elongating and twisting, as the party moved from tree to tree. The above picture (no filter applied) is a moment in time when hundreds of birds were perched on the leaf-less tree tops, a sight to see as they stopped awhile, and before I knew it, they were soaring back in the fresh blue skies!

And below is the picture (transfer filter on iPhone). I love the color and how it changes the mood…
