Pink Plum Blossoms - Spring floral wall art - Flower still life artwork - Photography print by Nadia Culph
' I went down to mingle my breath with the breath of the cherry blossoms.
There were photographers: Mothers arranging their children against gnarled old trees;
a couple, hugging, asks a passerby to snap them like that, so that their love will always be caught between two friendships: ours & the friendship of the cherry trees.
Oh Cherry, why can’t my poems be as beautiful?
A young woman in a fur-trimmed coat sets a card table with linens, candles, a picnic basket & wine. A father tips a boy’s wheelchair back so he can gaze up at a branched heaven.
All around us the blossoms flurry down whispering,
Be patient you have an ancient beauty.
Be patient, you have an ancient beauty. ' - Toi Derricotte, 2011.
I love this time of year when the first signs of Spring are emerging from their Wintery sleep.
A macro photography still life of beautiful pastel pink Plum Blossoms.
Photographed in only natural light with minimal post processing and no filters.
