More of my Magnolia, which is very photogenic when the sun shines and if its petals have not been battered by the elements. This year it seems pretty much perfect.
It's the super springy thing again.

September 1 is considered springday, 3 weeks ahead of the earth reaching its spring position with respect to the sun.
The trees also cannot wait for that and start to open their buds and roll out their leaves.
Spring is strong and virtuous,
Broad-sowing, cheerful, plenteous,
Quickening underneath the mould
Grains beyond the price of gold.
So deep and large her bounties are,
That one broad, long midsummer day
Shall to the planet overpay
The ravage of a year of war.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
I went to the Botanical Garden to capture some Spring! This one is for everybody who needs some Spring colors but especially for my friend Kim's Pics :) You should check out her photostream! But I hope everybody is going to like it.
Happy bokeh Wednesday!!
This lighting came out strange in this shot but i like it anyway! Hazy light and spring colors. Finally some warmth.
Closer shots of some of the Magnolia blooms in the garden. Hard to get any closer unless I climb inside...
~ spring colours are just gorgeous, no? they make even a mundane
suburban street look amazing! (well, passable, anyway)
View on The Diana Temple in the Spring day. Park in Arkadia, Poland.
The Diana Temple was designed and raised by Szymon Bogumił Zug in 1783. The construction of classical proportions decorated with the openwork ornamentation is based on four lonic columns. Under the tympanum facing the pond you can see Latin inscription: "Dove pace trovai d'ogni mia guerra" (it was here that I found peace after each of the battles).
The interior of the temple constitute: the Vestibule, the Etruscan Cabinet, the oval Bedroom abd the Presence Chamber called Pantheon decorated with the stucco columns, ornamented mould and the plafond depicting Aurora pained by Jan Piotr Norblin.
The park was founded in 1778 by Princess Helena Radziwiłł, who lived in Nieborow. For designing and decorating its numerous pavilions she employed the most outstanding Polish architects and painters of the time. She also gathered one of the first antique art collections in Poland in the park. Owing to her, Arkadia enjoyed the status of one of the greatest cultural centers of the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries. In the park, nature and art are in harmony: the complex is composed of buildings imitating ancient ruins or the English Gothic style (Murgrabia House, Little Gothic House, Stone Arch, Diana's Temple with a Pantheon and Etruscan Room, the Sanctuary of the High Priest, the Cave of Sybil, the Tomb of Illusions, Circus and Amphitheatre). Arkadia is the only such classical-romantic historical complex in Europe, and the Museum received the European Award for the Protection of Historic Sites in 1994 for its restoration.

Wiosenny widok na Świątynię Diany w parku w Arkadii :)
Świątynia Diany wzniesiona została w roku 1783. Usytuowana nad stawem budowla prezentuje styl klasycystyczny. Jej fasadę frontową zdobi portyk kolumnowy z umieszczonym w tympanonie napisem Dove pace trovai d'ogni mia guerra. Jest to cytat z sonetu Petrarki - "tutaj odnalazłem spokój po każdej mojej walce". Do stawu prowadzą kamienne schody, zakończone dwiema rzeźbami: lwem i sfinksem. Najciekawsze jest jednak wnętrze. Oglądać tu można dekorację sztukateryjną, oraz plafon autorstwa J. P. Noblina „Jutrzenka” z lat 1783-1785, usytuowany na drewnianej kopule. Za salą główną, po lewej stronie znajduje się sześcioboczny Gabinet Etruski, pełniący rolę muzeum. Oglądać tu można ciekawe polichromie. W roku 1995 zakończyły się prace renowacyjne Świątyni.
Arkadia - park romantyczny w stylu angielskim założony przez Helenę z Przeździeckich (1753-1821), żonę Michała Hieronima Radziwiłła właściciela pobliskiego Nieborowa. Koncepcja takich ogrodów wykluczała jakąkolwiek symetrię czy regularność. Poprzez umiejętne połączenie urozmaiconego ukształtowania terenu, zbiorników i cieków wodnych, swobodnego rozmieszczenia różnorodnych gatunków roślinności oraz wkomponowania najróżniejszych form architektonicznych (antycznych, neogotyckich, średniowiecznych, renesansowych, wiejskich) tworzono malownicze enklawy o bajkowym krajobrazie, zmieniającym się w zależności od pory roku, dnia, aktualnej pogody itp. Były to wymarzone miejsca kontemplacji, romantycznej zadumy, spacerów, lektury, wypoczynku, kontaktu z naturą i sztuką. Do zakładania ogrodu księżna przystąpiła w 1778 roku, a rozwijała go i komponowała do swojej śmierci. Obecnie park w Arkadii zajmuje obszar 14 ha położony między drogą Łowicz - Skierniewice a rzeką Skierniewką. Mimo licznych zmian jakie zaszły przez ponad dwa wieki jego istnienia jest jedynym w Polsce zabytkiem architektury ogrodowej w Polsce który zachował pierwotną koncepcję przestrzenną z końca XVIII wieku. Jest unikatowym zabytkiem klasy "0" chętnie odwiedzanym przez liczne rzesze turystów.

I can't quite get enough of these pretty little forget-me-nots at the moment!

Spring
Again, the violet bows to the lily.
Again, the rose is tearing off her gown!
The green ones have come from the other world,
tipsy like the breeze up to some new foolishness.
Again, near the top of the mountain,
the anemone's sweet features appear...
Again there are sufis everywhere!
The bud is shy, but the wind removes
her veil suddenly, "My friend!"
The Friend is here like water in the stream,
like a lotus on the water.
...Again the season of Spring has come
and a spring-source rises under everything,
a moon sliding from the shadows.
Rumi
