[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Spring is about birth, the first sparkle giving life. The thawing of snow letting water penetrate the earth as the sun shining warms it. The life that was asleep for many months is suddenly hit by a tremendous amount of energy. Imagine one moment the seed popping the first leaf out of its shell and the strength required for such an action. Imagine its slow motion through the soil up to to the air to reach the sun and feel the warmth.

This picture makes me think of all kind of things, like the beginning of life. Spring.

The picture of this birthing flower of rudbeckie did not happen at spring, the whole plant has had to relive at spring before to do s, then grow the shoots and then the stem and then all the leaves and the bud of the flower... to give a beautiful flower where bees and insects will come and disseminate the pollen all around. Then the same plant will grow seeds out of the flower. For the birds to eat and spread it out along their way.

Spring is about the first sparkle, the fire of life and in life.

Well, on this first Sunday of Spring, I wish you well!

Francine

Hi francine. This is spring unfolding before your eyes. In full colour. You have taken this from a low POV so we can see all of the fine detail , with rich colours. well done TFs.
Nick..

great capture, TFS Ori

Absolutely love the texture here! The contrasting green, especially since it is out of focus, really enhances this flower. Ah, spring, new births, new life, and the tradition of the old passing onto the new...

Hi Francine,

A marvelous shot to welcome the Spring season. I'm not familiar with this plant but it must be fascinating. The colors, textures and details are excellent - showing Nature at its best. There is a sense of movement as though we are watching the birth of the flower. Just beautiful against the green leaves.

Bonsoir ma petite soeur

Tu es partie sur un rhytme d'enfer, je n'arrive pas à suivre... En plus, tu nous gâtes avec des images superbes. Celle-ci me plaît beaucoup et je trouve très réussie ton association avec la vie, la naissance. En tous les cas, je me régale en regardant de ce feu de vie...

Amitiés

Markus

Bonjour Francien,
C'est une image bien spéciale du monde végétal! C'est aussi un peu comme una main qui s'ouvre.
De très belles teintes et un sujet bien composé. Et que vive le printemps!
Il semble que chez nous l'hiver va revenir cette semaine :-(
