Happy First Day of Spring folks – at least for those of you in the Northern Hemisphere.
Red Trillium in bark
This is one of the wildflower prints that is hanging at Henry Ford West Bloomfield hospital. I originally had this as a horizontal in my gallery (rotated clockwise from here), but the designers asked for it in a vertical. It doesn’t happen for me very often that an image works equally as well in both orientations – but once I printed it as a vertical – it really grew on me that way.
This image is representative of my “symbiotic compositions” series I am accumulating as a theme. My original post about it is here. I particularly liked how the cut outs in the bark resembled petals or leaves – almost as if they were part of the flower itself.
Let’s hope the energy of spring continues to fill the air – this winter has been one to say good riddance to!
Gorgeous – I’ve never seen a red trillium before!
Hi Mark, lovely bloom and lovely photo! Spring has disappeared here again! You would not believe that I shot these photos of a crocus field just one week ago (look under my blogger account above) – now we are back in deep winter with temperatures below zero again. I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS! Yuck!
Greetings, Petra
Lovely photo! I was out today, myself, taking macro shots of teensy tiny flowers you’d never notice in my yard unless you really looked. Such an inspirational time, Spring!
Gorgeous. The bark really makes the flower pop! I like the vertical.
Lovely, Mark. I certainly like it in this orientation. But then again, I love vertical pictures!
Beautiful flower and photo
Nice theme, Mark. I always marvel at your ability to find a unique approach to all things photographic!
nice picture out here. this brings hope to all the people. this is what spring brings. from kika.ca
Thanks folks, I appreciate you taking time to leave comments.
Such a nice image Mark. And I can see where this would be a very uplifting piece for a hospital. It just speaks to getting past struggles and new-beginnings.
