SPRING GARDEN FLOWER

SPRING FLOWERS ARE A WELCOME SIGHT FOR GARDENERS, BUT EVEN MORE SO FOR POLLINATING INSECTS..Bumblebees, solitary bees, butterflies and many other pollinators emerge when the weather warms up, but pollen and nectar can be hard to come by. A huge number of plants rely entirely on bees and other insects for pollination, and yet population numbers are declining.

I rose this morning early as usual, and went to my desk.

But it’s spring,

and the thrush is in the woods,

somewhere in the twirled branches, and he is singing.

And so, now, I am standing by the open door.

And now I am stepping down onto the grass.

I am touching a few leaves.

I am noticing the way the yellow butterflies

move together, in a twinkling cloud, over the field.

And I am thinking: maybe just looking and listening

is the real work.

Maybe the world, without us,

is the real poem.

People were suntanning outside even though it's only mid-March. New buds growing along a wall decided to pop out of the ground. My own textures added.

Oh, Spring! I want to go out and feel you and get inspiration. My old things seem dead. I want fresh contacts, more vital searching.

Okay, so I know there is a lot going on here, Maybe I overprocessed a bit, but isn't that what we are supposed to do for Slider Sunday? 😋

Started with a color version of a previously B&W uploaded photo.

Spring is coming - just for one day.

It's been a gorgeous spring day today and the fresh green growth looked so beautiful against the blue sky, that I couldn't resist a return to an old favourite PS filter - HSS!
