With light creeping into evenings and some discernible warmth in the sun, the rustle of Spring is eagerly anticipated. Still I’m savouring in sepia the armature of trees before these skeletal sculptures are obscured by suspensions of foliage, flower and fruit.
“I do not want to foresee the future.
I am concerned with taking care of the present.
God has given me no control over the moment following.”
Gandhi
You’ve made winter look good. Thanks.
easier to see winter’s good side from this side of it
Beautiful photographs Laura, and the poem is an excellent reminder that we need to savour the present rather than forever wishing time to pass more swiftly.
yes Janet – trying to take every day of winter one step at a time instead of always looking for its end
There is something so beautiful in the winter skeletons of trees. I love being able to see their bones and understand their forms. Lovely pictures Laura, bidding a nearly farewell to winter.
made a concerted effort to focus on winter’s beauty whilst it is still here Judith
Fabulous shots especially with the sepia
love my camera’s sepia mode for nostalgia Donna
Thank you for the image of Gandhi and the quote.
and the background to his statue is fading winter cherry blossoms
I agree, you made the winter look so beautiful! Love Gandhi’s quote!
if it were not for the amount of darkness, winter has its own brand of beauty Amy (I could not bear to live in the Norse countries!)
Very nice! Winter doesn’t seem so bad in your pics.
London is almost a Zone 9 so the worst of winter (under current climactic conditions) tends to stay away
I love these…stark yet beautiful….Michelle
to be savoured before they are covered over and we forget, Michelle
Merveilleuses photographies! Incroyable force dramatique! Bravo!!!
it was so much nicer then than now! Merci
