In Ode, Intimations of Immortality from Reflections of Early Childhood, William Wordswoth wrote: Though nothing can bring back the hour / Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower / We will grieve not, but rather find / Strength in what remains behind. I was reminded of those lines when I saw a single blade of grass that had gone to seed and was blooming deep in the woods. The tiny flowers were a sight to behold.

It`s cherry blossom season in Japan. This beautiful flower is called “Sakura”. The blossoms only last for a week or two, usually from March to April; Sakura cherry-blossoms have come to symbolize the transience of life because their life is so short. The Japanese school year begins in April, the sakura are also seen as a sign of beginning, signaling a new stage in life. This bloom has been compared to a woman’s beauty, blossoming for a short period before withering into old age. When the Sakura start to appear, all of Japan goes crazy for these flowers. Hanami (picnics under the cherry blossom trees) is held in the parks, by rivers or on mountains. Salary men loosen their neckties and knock back sake while the blossoms fall gently to the ground. Television news carry nightly reports of the cherry blossom “front” and show whereabouts in Japan the Sakura has started to bloom. This photo was taken in Shinjuku Gyoen.

Acrylic with metallic and glitter overlays on gallery wrap canvas, 40×40cm I should be feeling fantastic, my spirit should be soaring – instead I find myself earthbound and full of pain. Having stupidly broken my toe on Monday (the first broken bone ever), and being unable to take pain meds I just feel like crap. So I paint. This is for my sons girlfriends 18th Birthday and the symbology is clear (well, to me anyway) – but you can add your interpretations please:) Its also based in the song that I played a lot: INXS – Afterglow: “Touch me and I will follow in your afterglow / Heal me from all this sorrow / As I let you go I will find my way when I see your eyes / Now I’m living in your afterglow…” reproduced in part all credit and copyright of these lyrics belong to INXS

I dont’ think that perfection means beauty. More often than not, the imperfect is more interesting and attractive, with flowers as much as anything else. I shot this sunflower on an overcast day, against the sky, and using fill-in flash. I thought it turned out sharp and detailed, but unnatural looking. The textures and shapes really appealed to me, so I took the opportunity to have some fun with the image. Why not make it more unnatural looking, but my way. / I converted it from RAW and postprocessed it in hdr software; then took it into PhotoImpact. I then added a hint of sepia toning, then a fading filter to soften it a bit. Finally, I added a little more contrast. I’m very pleased with the results. Canon EOS 450D 18-5mm lens with polarizer filter and on-camera flash.

A little tattered round the edges, but still strong at heart, and beautiful. This image reminded me of what Enobarbus said of the ageing Cleopatra in Shakespeare’s play: ‘Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale / Her infinite variety.’ / William Shakespeare, “Antony and Cleopatra”, Act 2 scene 2 Canon EOS 450D, 18-55mm lens Processed with Dynamic-Photo HDR and PhotoImpact.
