Walking along the swamp the other day, I could smell the cherry blossoms that were still in the making, and I could see far and clear because the leaves are yet a long way from coming out. The dried relics of last summer stood in stark relief against the sky and all the impending life. Was nice.

ReplyDeleteOld Queen Anne's bones have always been a must shoot for me. You found a beauty for sure. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo. The contrast is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGreat perspective. Almost could be abstract. And, nice DOF.
ReplyDeleteIt almost becomes the sunrise/set in this lovely composition. It is held between night and day, waiting to return, to recycle, to renew.
ReplyDeletewhat a classy shot, love the placement, design, shadows etc
ReplyDeleteAwesome photo. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great silhouette. I don't think much survived the snow, wind and cold here this winter. We will have to wait until this summer to see such things. HSWF.

ReplyDeleteI love the way that flower seems ready to unfurl and greet the spring.
ReplyDeleteoh cherry blossoms. i never smelled one yet.
ReplyDeleteinteresting image and thoughts to go with it, Sandy. As the Good Book says, not until the seeds fall and die could the old give way to new life.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward while looking back. Lovely.

ReplyDeleteThe dried relics are so natural and organic. Paintings from nature in free form. It is amazing what you see if you only look around. I can imagine, that dried flower gave itself knowing the spring would come, renewing from the seeds of the past. Very nice photo! Rob.
