I’ve been out some over the last few days looking for the details of Spring.

New growth and a cocoon hanging on.  Something new and something old in the changing seasons.

I started out looking for that soft green, rather indistinct, we see in trees just coming out but it was the details that pulled me in.

So much beauty in small places.  If nothing else, it gets one to pay attention to what is there.

Stopping to look is key whether a camera is available or not.

We usually see the hyacinth in the plural; but individual blossoms are gorgeous.  And they smell good.

I guess we are often too much in a hurry to really look.  Georgia O’Keeffe said that the reason she painted large images was that that was what was needed to get people’s attention.

Maybe I’ll try that. Make some very large images.  Maybe make a large image of some beautiful small thing and then hang the image outside, right over the subject of the image.  Probably have to put an arrow pointing down to tell people what this was about.

People need to look at what is there.  That is very important.  By the way, I walked no more than a couple of hundred feet (at most, at the very most) off my normal daily paths to get these images.

It’s dark out now so I can’t go look some more tonight.  I’ll do that tomorrow.

For sure.
