Beautiful Blooms

Flowers…are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

The next few weeks will bring us some glorious sights as spring’s arrival becomes more pronounced. I look forward to getting out more and attempting to capture the season’s beauties that will be all around us.

[SIDE NOTE: This photo reminds me of an old-style wallpaper design.]

Close-up of tree branches with buds, reaching for spring.

Though winter temps have returned, the promise of spring fell upon us last week. It’s the promise of life and newness, of hope and redemption.

The sun invited us to lift our faces and bask in its warmth. The flowers and trees beckoned for spring’s benediction, reaching upward, reaching for sustenance.

Spring will come again, little ones. You will grow — and you will bear fruit.

    To me, photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event as well as of a precise organization of forms which give that event its proper expression. I believe that, through the act of living, the discovery of oneself is made concurrently with the discovery of the world around us which can mold us, but which can also be affected by us. A balance must be established between these two worlds - the one inside us and the one outside us. As a result of a constant reciprocal process, both these worlds come to form a single one. And it is this world that we must communicate. —Henri Cartier-Bresson
