I am always amazed at the freshness of new Hydrangea blossoms. They promise new beginnings, a fresh start, a new day.
"The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance.
The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you,
as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life.
You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose."
~ Arnold Bennett
It is finely the beginning of waterfall season here in Minnesota which is always a very exciting time to me. I am reminded of how Christ makes everything new and breathes life into our dead lungs. For all things are made for Him and through Him which is stated in Colossians chapter 1. I am thankful for springtime and for warmer temperatures that are on the way. Have a blessed week everybody!

The first Rhododendron buds are starting to open. From now through May, they will provide me with plenty of photo art projects.

Stunning sunrise - Alberta Canada.
My camera has been in its case and I, for the most part, in a chair - just waiting for spring. The bears in Alberta and I definitely in hibernation mode this winter.
A difficult month with record breaking temperatures e.g. -35c -
Wishing you all....a HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING. Hope we all have good weather and lots of buds (beginnings).

“There's so much to write. Where should I start?
I texted my old Jiko this question, and she wrote me back this:
'You should start where you are”

I'm sure most of you will have noticed by now that I'm shooting different subjects/styles. I love LE seascape work and the peace and tranquility that comes with being near water, but I'm feeling the urge to rebel and try my hand at other subjects (hence my deliberate move to explore other avenues of photographic expression). The tilt-shift/focus work I've been trying lately is really starting to resonate with me and I'm curious where this path will take me.
All comments, critiques and feedback both positive and negative welcome.
Patient Trust
Above all, trust in the slow work of God.
We are quite naturally impatient in everything to reach the end without delay.
We should like to skip the intermediate stages.
We are impatient of being on the way to something unknown, something new.
And yet it is the law of all progress
that it is made by passing through some stages of instability—
and that it may take a very long time.
And so I think it is with you;
your ideas mature gradually—let them grow,
let them shape themselves, without undue haste.
Don’t try to force them on,
as though you could be today what time
(that is to say, grace and circumstances acting on your own good will)
will make of you tomorrow.
Only God could say what this new spirit
gradually forming within you will be.
Give Our Lord the benefit of believing
that his hand is leading you,
and accept the anxiety of feeling yourself
in suspense and incomplete.
-Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, Hearts on Fire

How cool it was to be together with friends shooting at locations personally never seen before. Well, honestly this spot here in the image is very iconic and so many times showed in so many different social media platforms. But I never was here at his area and therefore, despite all the images around the world from this place, I present this one here! It’s my humble image and my own vision from this place. The weather forecast predicted a lot of rain for this day and so it was! We were standing in front of this magical tree and the morning was only gray but with some breaks in the clouds to let pass a bit of light and converting the atmosphere into a magical drama. I decided to make a long exposure for this rainy and gray spot. I combined a polarizer with an ND-Filter (normally I never do that as I think more than one glass on the top of the lens is decreasing the quality of the image, but this is only my opinion). And this here is the result as you can see and I hope you like it.

I really do feel like the lines are beginning to blur. Wearing these N95 masks probably doesn't help with that. HMM!!
“The beginning is the most important part of the work.”
Quote – Plato
Coming weeks I am in the middle of a renovation of the house again. That means a lot of noise and many workmen on the floor, who want coffee at set times. And bothering you all the time with questions about one thing or another.
That's why I decided not to fold the dragons for a while and instead fold some modular models. These consist of simple units, so you can easily stop and then continue.
Here you can see three intermediate stages to give an impression of 'having to stop while I'm folding'.
A friend of mine just got a new job and she said she would like to take care of the end results. They get a nice spot on the windowsill. So all in all, three birds with one stone.
Have a nice and inspiring new week ahead.
Every new beginning comes
from some other beginning's end

I couldn't blame the gatekeeper for my tardy arrival on this day but there were still some remnants remaining to make a wonderful beginning to the day! Hoping for the same tomorrow! Taken on Armand Bayou near Bay Area Park!
