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.
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.
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.
It died, but its growth form may give some insight to its death. At the top left of the tree is a proliferation of branches that is decidedly non-juniperish. Forest biologists call these witches brooms, and they occur in a variety of conifers and deciduous trees. They are usually caused by fungi, viruses, or plant parasites called mistletoes. This growth may have been the last straw for a tree growing in an arid environment.

View from a suspension bridge on the Timber Trail in Pureora Forest. I think looking at an old growth forest is an increasingly rare experience because logging companies are reaching deeper and deeper into the world's last remaining virgin forests to extract timber. Short term profit versus conservation, a battle over the last remaining untouched forests. Panorama from two photos.

I know I post a lot of Beech trees, but there are a lot of them in our local woods! They are quite characters and will sprout branches from their smooth trunks in what appears to be random locations. This one seems to have tried several directions before one speared out. Of course I was under the watchful eye of some Holly :-) Have a great Easter everyone and stay safe.
