A Spring Metaphor


Imagine starting out in life like this... as a magnolia tree's soft finger tip, reaching out to touch the sweet restorative spring air to sense if it is time to open. And when you get too warm for your winter coat, your downy pod gently opens and delicate pedals reach out, fragrant and receptive to the varying shades of daylight. You are a new flowering fledgling, born of fuzz, evolving into feathery white wings, elegantly perched upon the limb of a most beautiful tree.
That would be a life, most divine.

    I just hold my breath when I click on your blog. Not only are the photos breathtaking but your words accompanying them so... perfect!

    Question: for this kind of photo, do you use a tripod or is it too hard when you are outdoors? I tried a tripod but it was so cumbersome.
