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! :)
Tofana - Dolomites, Italy.
From journey (photographic expedition) through the Dolomite mountain range, September 2016.
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).

Einen schönen Montag euch allen !
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."
This was the highlight of the Junction Arts Festival 2025 in Launceston. The Airship Orchestra in a particularly dark moment.

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 ;)

Perennial jazz festival players Soul Jazz Orchestra playing the big stage. My favorite performances of theirs, however, were their 2016 sets on the funky Club Jazz stage.
