This morning around the oak tree (that towers above the house) there was a symphony of color at play.
Spring light illuminated new growth, including golden pollen.
The wind brought sweeping movement.
It was a song celebrating life …
from the grand moments
to the tiny details.
A passionate composition of fierce expression in glorious color and texture.
At least that would be my music review. 😉

A few images from a return visit to a field in Woburn, Massachusetts.
A very small field in an office park with an amazing variety of wildlife present.
I wasn’t set up to photograph the birds (or record their symphony of birdsong) though I kept catching flashes of bright orange, red, black and gold feathers.
As always, I scared a few rabbits deeper into the underbrush.
No hawks this time or foxes.
In the end …
I mostly focused on the landscape.

or maybe seaweed washed ashore.
In fact, a small bundle of dried spring blossoms found on the ground.

I took these photos a few days ago, indeed, after a spring rain. Today, these buds are bold blossoms, their petals glistening quite beautifully in melting spring snow. I didn’t quite have the heart to photograph the snow. 😉

I wasn’t happy with any single image but somehow seeing the whole group worked for me. It is fun being able to play with your food.

The recipe for this photo shoot: a few sprigs of baby’s breath, a small red bowl, a gold saucer, one stone, and a square of blue cloth.

Yesterday, as the sun was setting, I decided to focus on the earth instead of the sky.
Between the angle of the light and the new color upon the budding bush outside my window, the branches did seem to have fiery glow.
That glow became a little less fiery after I stopped photographing the curtain as well.
But whether bark or cloth, it was all a beautiful sight in the fading sunlight.
