It’s the spring season again here in Northeast Ohio and that means both my lilac bush and dogwood tree are in full bloom. I just *love* that… J
So this year, instead of cutting off a sprig of lilac (smells so good!) and photographing it while in a vase on a table (and so therefore having a perspective of looking down on it from above), I decided to just let the bloom be and took pictures “au naturel” (that is, from underneath and looking up). And of course I love the new perspective! It feels more energetic and “vivacious” to me.
For me, the sweet little bloom I’ve focused on here has the sun on her face while she is yearning and striving and reaching and hoping for the gorgeous blue skies above. The other blooms already surge ahead of her but nevertheless, the confident young bloom is holding on to her own special wishes and dreams. The Sweet Striver quietly aspires to the boundless possibilities she knows are waiting in the open expanse of opportunity before her....
