Spring is all around us and we can see it, feel, it, even taste it. But have a close look to your garden. Something is happening there as well. See the skeleton blooms, the dead, the frozen plants. Yes, they are dead but still beautiful and full of grace. It will not last for long and they are food for bugs and their kiddies and new blooms will arise as well.

Well, nature can not be stopped. She holds out her fingers and will occupy their new space. Just watch and do not ask me to clone away that drought fingers of grass, coming in from left. That ARE the intruders :)

What a wonderful surprise. The sky is blue, only small and white clouds, bright sun and its getting warmer. A look to the ground shows, that mother nature is doing its job. The first plants brings out their blooms. That is such awonder after the last very long lasting and cold winter. But finally, it is back: the spring ! Happy faces all over in the town. Everyone is out, preparing the garden season, opening even the BBQ season :) Bird singing, bees humming around. What a wonderful day.

A dead bloom, a dry flower offers so much beauty. Take you makro lens, or switch your P&S cam to makro mode and go clooooooose. Look what nature has prepared for you. Stunning beauties, elegance and grace in one flower combined. Here it works with a dry rose but any flower can work for you and you picture as well. It is for eternity and if you want it is a wonderful picture for the wall, printed on canvas, or a fantastic background for a wonderful soft portrait. Be inspired

As summer goes bye we see how plants and blooms change. They reach their end of life as well and it is worth having a close look to them. In particular the wild red roses of any kind are worth a look. Already touched by the death it is a good idea placing them in a fitting color scheme
