Leaves and Pink - botanical still life photography

A small collection of some leaves from earlier this year. I got a little carried away and took way too many shots but the shapes are so lovely. Eucalyptus, ceriman and ferns.

 the skins remind me of a stary night sky....

"The tea kettle whistled, and Melissa poured it over the tea at the bottom of the glass pot. While it steeped, Melissa opened the back door to her favorite sight in her corner of the world—her herb and butterfly garden. Blue and purple lupine, shocking pink four o’clocks, orange poppies, and sunny-yellow damiana greeted her, still shaded by the fig tree on the east side of the garden.”- Leslie Leigh - Murder and Moonflowers

Plum Tree Blossoms - signs of spring

Having grown up and lived most of my life in the pacific northwest, these lovey flowering plum trees still feel like the beginning of spring even while I am here in California and the temperatures can feel like summer on winter days...  I decided to have a closer look than usual and put my macro filters on my 35mm lens to really see the forms of the branches and buds, so fascinating!

Pink Protea Flowers

Protea 'Pink Ice' , such trippy prehistoric looking flowers. 

The petals are like plush velvet, really amazing.

Pink Peony Flowers

.........Do you also hurry, half-dressed and barefoot, into the garden,
and softly, and exclaiming of their dearness, fill your arms with the white and pink flowers, with their honeyed heaviness, their lush trembling, their eagerness to be wild and perfect for a moment, before they are nothing, forever........ ~ Mary Oliver

Still Life Photography - fruits and found things

Having some fun with still life photography lately. Warm spring rains coming down outside today, I spent the morning dancing at Soul Motion and am feeling refreshed.

I hope everyone has a great week !
