Beauty in Spring

Taken by my spouse with his 200mm macro and old D4. After my accident with that remarkable lens--and repairs by Nikon are good, but I almost could have purchased a new one for the same price--I do not borrow this rather dear lens.
Slight crop. Maple tree that we did not have planted.

Transforming this mushroom-image, into this one. It was fun ;-))

I'm enjoying seeing the new growth in my wife's garden, including the grape hyacinths springing up through the ivy.

most people are afraid of a new beginning as it often times means that new challenges are ahead. with an apprentice's mindset, one is able to look into themselves and find the true value that you are bringing into your new destiny. use these tests as a chance to make yourself better for the future.
I went to a place I have only been to once before. That was a few years ago. I did more shots this time and tried to set up better this time. I admit though, that I should have used a tripod to use a higher F stop.
Hope you like.
Happy Fence Friday
A walk in a local wood, the bluebells carpet the floor in a blue haze.The penetrating light illuminating the tones of blue and the fresh new growth of the trees.
You are my baby, but it’s not up to me
What you become that is up to you
I hope you will be gentle, kind, compassionate and free
No matter what I’ll always love you unconditionally
No matter what I’ll always love you unconditionally
You are traumatized, devastated and immobilized by the awful experiences that still have extremely debilitating effects on you in the present moment. And you work so hard, taking tiny little steps to keep reaching for growth even though it feels impossible. And that is amazing. You truly are fighting for life.

This is an in-camera double exposure I took back on June 13, 2021 while out in our yard at sunset, taking pictures as a way to try to cope with the difficult experiences and symptoms I struggle with each moment of each day. I was thankful for my time outside and the in-camera double exposure experimentation I was doing—it was helpful to have some moments of focusing on this positive, energizing activity and helped me make it through that evening.

I will be honest when I say this image was not planned out, nor was much time taken over shooting it.
But there is something about how it captures the melancholy dusk feeling, and draws your eye back into the tower shapes in the background mirroring the foreground which I found very interesting, and wanted to share.
Potting utensils left behind next to the kitchen garden in the "Haus der Offiziere", an old military training quarter in Wünsdorf from 1910. After the war it served the Russian military in East Germany until 1994.
In a witches’ broom, the growth of a lateral bud – the buds that make twigs and side shoots – loses control and causes multiple stems to form in a tangled, disorganised manner. Multiple years of growth is required to create big brooms.
More noticeable now as the tree loses it’s leaves.
Growth tips have been quickly getting larger and more deep green. When still new they were good to eat, but now they're getting to be too tough to chew.

Fiddleheads or fiddlehead greens are the furled fronds of a young fern, harvested for use as a vegetable. Left on the plant, each fiddlehead would unroll into a new frond (circinate vernation). As fiddleheads are harvested early in the season before the frond has opened and reached its full height, they are cut fairly close to the ground. Fiddleheads contain a compound associated with bracken toxicity. The fiddlehead resembles the curled ornamentation (called a scroll) on the end of a stringed instrument, such as a fiddle. It is also called a crozier, after the curved staff used by bishops, which has its origins in the shepherd's crook.
