This is part I of my latest Helleborus Series
What Wikipedia sais about it:
The genus is native to much of Europe, from western Britain, Spain and Portugal, eastward across the Mediterranean region and central Europe into Romania and Ukraine, and along the north coast of Turkey into the Caucasus. The greatest concentration of species occurs in the Balkans. One atypical species (H. thibetanus) comes from western China; another atypical species (H. vesicarius) inhabits a small area on the border between Turkey and Syria.
The flowers have five "petals" (actually sepals or tepals) surrounding a ring of small, cup-like nectaries (petals modified to hold nectar). The sepals do not fall as petals would, but remain on the plant, sometimes for many months. Recent research in Spain suggests that the persistent calyx contributes to the development of the seeds (Herrera 2005).
Although the flowers of some species may resemble wild roses (and despite some of their common names, such as "Christmas rose" and "Lenten rose"), hellebores do not belong to the rose family (Rosaceae).

Missing you all.
Hoping you are well, and looking forward to seeing your glorious pics. :)
Looks better on black.
There's a light, hidden in the middle of my heart, just like the light that seems to flow outside this natural masterpiece...
Can you feel this sort of electromagnetic radiation break the distance of an ocean to reach you?
Let me be your inner light, let me shine into your tender heart.

This is one of my color/light/movement experiments... I mirrored this photograph, the result is the "Cascading light"... if you like to view it... it is in my "LightWorlds" set: www.flickr.com/photos/lightspectrals/199505596/in/set-721...
Purity
Life of my life, I shall ever try to keep my body pure, knowing
that thy living touch is upon all my limbs.
I shall ever try to keep all untruths out from my thoughts, knowing
that thou art that truth which has kindled the light of reason in my mind.
I shall ever try to drive all evils away from my heart and keep my love in flower, knowing
that thou hast thy seat in the inmost shrine of my heart.
And it shall be my endeavour to reveal thee in my actions, knowing
it is thy power which gives me strength to act.

My Lotus Flower Photo Set: www.flickr.com/photos/webnet/sets/72157602191597956/with/...
This was one of my best captures of a very large Lotus Flower in the last year of their existence in Echo Park Lake, Los Angeles, 2007. There are plans to bring them back at some point in the future. A characteristic of these flowers is the seemingly ever present inner light.
Wow, it was a busy day, I had time to shoot this picture but I almost hadnt time to upload it!
Well, I put my black coat behind the lightbulb so the black comes from there, and if you look closely you can see me with a strange position trying to shoot the picture, hehe.
Day 32 of 365 project and also for MSH february 2009 on theme "Inner light"
Sorry for not visiting your streams... I am having an awful migrane - and I can't stay in my office for long... Hopefully I will be fine again tonight - at the latest tomorrow...
See you then. Have a most wonderful & lightfilled day everybody!
Taken in the very late afternoon with only a little light left... with ASA 400. You can notice this
in the somewhat grainy structure, eventhough I tried to get some of it reduced.

The vineleaves from my "living curtain" are some of my favourite models. When I wake
up in the morning and look outside I am again and again marvelled by the wonderful
translucency and changing colours!
Here you may say the "big" picture to understand my "living curtain" ;))

Last of the lilly series.
To honour the Ginkgo, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe wrote the following poem:
GINKGO BILOBA
The leaf of this Eastern tree
Which has been entrusted to my garden
Offers a feast of secret significance,
For the edification of the initiate.
Is it one living thing
That has become divided within itself?
Are these two who have chosen each other,
So that we know them as one?
I think I have found the right answer
To these questions;
Do my songs not make you feel
That I am both one and twain?
(J.W. v. Goethe)
Y en Español:
GINKGO BILOBA
Las hojas de este árbol, que del Oriente
a mi jardin venido, lo adorna ahora,
un arcano sentido tienen, que al sabio
de reflexión le brindan materia obvia.
¿ Será este árbol extraño algún ser vivo
que un dia en dos mitades se dividiera?
¿ O dos seres que tanto se comprendieron,
que fundirse en un solo ser decidieran?
La clave de este enigma tan inquietante
Yo dentro de mi mismo creo haberla hallado:
¿ no adivinas tú mismo, por mis canciones,
que soy sencillo y doble como este árbol?
There is no charm equal to tenderness of heart.
~ Emma by Jane Austen

Looking out of my window... with the living curtain". I love the colored light that comes in! When I asked my grownup son what title would you give this one? He said inmediately: "autumncolorshades"
Calendula... one of my favorite summer flowers.
Looking for some other photograph in my archives
I stumbled across this one and thought these
are nice colors to look at in wintertime...
¡No la dejes escapar!

For Helen O'Toole, who left us on friday. R.I.P.
I found her on my walks into the vinyard... she is absolutely
wonderful, if you rub her leaves they have a wonderful scent
of fresh apples........ who knows the name of this beauty?
Thanks to Tony from Sydney I know now she is a moss rose!
A portrait triptych of quiet grace: profile, frontal gaze, and half profile brought together in one calm tableau.
What fascinates here is not simply beauty, but presence — the sense that a human being can soften the world just by being in it. Strength without hardness, warmth without demand, and that rare kind of stillness that makes even an ordinary moment feel touched by wonder.
This image is less about identity than about atmosphere: the dream of a person whose presence makes life appear gentler, deeper, and more luminous.
