I'm guessing it's blossom season for photographers, and so this my first contribution to thus for this time so far. The weather here has been very up and down as one can expect for early April, this was down by the canal off Kaiserin Augusta Allee, this time of year the trees, shrubs and bushes explode into life and colour and just about everything! It's bit of a treasure trove and so far it's just started, I hope to get more and I did get a load of captures on this day.
The name for this photo however is another story, I was completely stuck, I wanted to call it "The Hand of Spring" didn't like it, then I came up with "The Hand That Feels the Winds of Change" but decided it was cringingly cheesy and corny, but my partner looked at it and said "Spring Orchestra" which I initially sneered at, then she protested and so we settled on the one we have, as Vera pointed out the blossoms look like trumpets and so I was then sold on it.
I hope everyone is well and so always, thank you! :)

I love this kind of photography (can't help myself), though requires extremely demanding way of processing.
As always, thank you so much for your visits, comments and faves!

"The guitar is a small orchestra. It is polyphonic. Every string is a different color, a different voice."
~ Andrés Segovia Torres
I absolutely agree with the quotation of that virtuoso and famous Spanish classical guitarist :
I first learned to play the violin as a teenager - much later as an adult I finally got myself a classical guitar ... and love the possibility of polyphony with the fingerstyle.

"Die Gitarre ist ein kleines Orchester. Sie ist mehrstimmig. Jede Saite hat eine andere Farbe, eine andere Stimme."
~ Andrés Segovia Torres
Da stimme ich absolut zu:
Ich habe als Jugendliche zuerst gelernt, Geige zu spielen - viel später dann als schon Erwachsene habe ich mir schliesslich ein Konzertgitarre zugelegt.
And der Gitarre liebe ich die Möglichkeit der Mehrstimmigkeit, insbesondere mit dem Fingersyle (Fingerpicking).

Have a nice evening, you all :-)
The orchestra rehearsing for the next concert, the door open for the heat and you enjoy a beautiful moment. Too bad not being able to publish the music too.
L'orchestra fa le prove per il prossimo concerto, la porta si apre per il caldo e ti godi un bel momento. Peccato non poter pubblicare anche la musica.
Listen: the wood thrush's tremulous, sugary voice
as he dips in and out of the box elder; the morning
glories who have thin, scarlet tongues, or the wind
that billows and wants to carry off the umbrella.
We sit under swaying elms enraptured by a Hallelujah
chorus of birds while the neighbors 14 year old girl
practices Mendelssohn; she desires everything, I think,
up-tempo and manic. You can hear the tarantella
wanting to crawl out of her. But her teacher calms her:
espressivo, espressivo, he says, the open window
framing them in a perfect still life. I think again
how music emanates from all that's in motion:
those hollyhocks beside the fence singing, the garden's
baseline so steady underneath us, rivers of barometrical
air that rise and fall and hum at a pitch beyond our ears.
Look at this aria of saffron light; seems each molecule
in this heart shaped leaf is a psalm, if I could hear inside
its embossed veins. How I envy what owls must hear.
Or the red squirrel, or the dog whining a block away
or the fox – red flash at meadow’s edge -- or the mole,
like Milton in his blindness.
--Miguel de O
A view from inside the ENESS Airship Orchestra looking at one of their creatures.
"The Airship Orchestra by Melbourne art and technology company ENESS is reinvigorating cities across the world with a spectacular immersive art experience. The temporary artwork is a mystical tribe of 16 otherworldly inflatable sculptures (some up to six metres) all supported by a fully networked internal system of motion sensors enabling its characters to respond to passers-by; behave as a choir and ‘compose’ a fresh, generative score each night."
A final look at the ENESS Airship Orchestra at the Junction Arts Festival 2025 in Launceston, Tasmania.
While walking around Ghent we stumbled upon a marching orchestra playing some tunes in the main square. My friend immediately admitted they had played in it too ;)

"La Bohème est un opéra en quatre tableaux1 de Giacomo Puccini, sur un livret en italien de Giacosa et Illica, d’après le roman d’Henri Murger, Scènes de la vie de bohème, et son adaptation théâtrale La Vie de bohème. Composé entre 1892 et 1895, il fut créé le 1er février 1896 au Teatro Regio de Turin, sous la direction d'Arturo Toscanini.
L'œuvre ne doit pas être confondue avec l'opéra homonyme de Ruggero Leoncavallo, créé l'année suivante et qui est rarement représenté."
La bohème (French pronunciation: [la bɔ.ɛm], Italian: [la boˈɛm]) is an opera in four acts, composed by Giacomo Puccini to an Italian libretto by Luigi Illica and Giuseppe Giacosa, based on Scènes de la vie de bohème by Henri Murger. The world premiere performance of La bohème was in Turin on 1 February 1896 at the Teatro Regio, conducted by the young Arturo Toscanini; its U.S. premiere took place the next year, 1897, in Los Angeles. Since then, La bohème has become part of the standard Italian opera repertory and is one of the most frequently performed operas worldwide.
In 1946, fifty years after the opera's premiere, Toscanini conducted a performance of it on radio with the NBC Symphony Orchestra. This performance was eventually released on records and on Compact Disc. It is the only recording of a Puccini opera by its original conductor (see Recordings below).
La Bohème è un'opera in quattro quadri di Giacomo Puccini, su libretto di Giuseppe Giacosa e Luigi Illica.
Ispirato al romanzo di Henri Murger Scene della vita di Bohème, il libretto ebbe una gestazione abbastanza laboriosa, per la difficoltà di adattare le situazioni e i personaggi del testo originario ai rigidi schemi e all'intelaiatura di un'opera musicale. L'orchestrazione della partitura procedette invece speditamente e fu completata nel dicembre 1895.
Meno di due mesi dopo, il 1º febbraio 1896, La Bohème fu rappresentata per la prima volta al Teatro Regio di Torino, con Evan Gorga, Cesira Ferrani, Antonio Pini-Corsi e Michele Mazzara, diretta dal ventinovenne maestro Arturo Toscanini, con buon successo di pubblico, mentre la critica ufficiale, dimostratasi all'inizio piuttosto ostile, dovette presto allinearsi ai generali consensi.
L'opera ha la stessa fonte e lo stesso titolo dell'omonimo spettacolo di Ruggero Leoncavallo, con cui al tempo Puccini ingaggiò una sfida.
La Bohème [labɔˈɛm] ist eine Oper in vier Bildern, komponiert von Giacomo Puccini. Das Libretto wurde von Luigi Illica und Giuseppe Giacosa nach dem Roman Les scènes de la vie de bohème von Henri Murger verfasst. Die Uraufführung fand 1896 im Teatro Regio in Turin unter Arturo Toscanini statt. Trotz schlechter Kritiken nach der Uraufführung wurde La Bohème ein Welterfolg. Sie gehört zum Standard-Repertoire vieler Häuser und ist eine der weltweit am häufigsten aufgeführten Opern.La Bohème steht dem Verismo nahe, es geht um Leben, Leiden und Lieben von gewöhnlichen Menschen. Sie ist die vierte der zwölf Opern Puccinis und gilt vielen als sein Meisterwerk."
