white


the sun comes out and for a few hours we have blue skies


we go in search of blossom


but it is almost impossible to photograph


the wind catches the petals and blows them about


in the end I have to to hold the blooms still.

and it reminds me that we need to remember to be still, 
to stop and pay attention to the world around us, 
because so often it is rushing past,
 like the wind.

  11. beautiful - and I laughed out loud having had exactly the same issue trying to photograph flowers, in the breeze, whilst walking the dog! I gave up in the end, but I agree, it was lovely to stop and notice the colours, even if they wouldn't pose for me!
