Yesterday, I was working outside and when I was coming in for a short break I thought I'll take a few minutes to clip some budding branches and see how they looked arranged.
This little arrangement is quite cheery in the dining room.
The days are finally getting a bit warmer here.
The more red buds here are from a small branch off of a Purpleleaf Sand Cherry Tree. Last fall as I was pruning like a crazy woman, I accidentally pruned, from the bottom, one big pillar of the one of the small trees we have outside our lawn. Oops. I've saved said pruned branch, thinking that dried sand cherry wood could be pretty. We'll see.
Each season is so special in it's own way. Spring, full of potential. I think the moody edit of these photos emphasize that.
It was fun to use my macro lens since it's been tucked away in my camera bag for awhile.
I hope you allow yourself to take a break too from your "gotta get done" list to enjoy what is before you.

These are beautiful photos, Jill. I love the moody look you achieved. I went out after finishing the dinner clean up and spent some time wandering in the garden taking photos. There was still a lot of light.
ReplyDeleteLove the look and feel of the light. I need to get outside and do some work too.
