Can I just go totally over the top here for 5 minutes? Can I share with you the exuberant joy of lying in these woodland anenomes at Zwartbles farm in Kilkenny on a spring afternoon in dappled shade? Can you soak up the colour and the light and the magic of it with me?
If contemplative photography is about anything it is getting close to the essence of the life force. One minute we are having a cup of tea and the next we are stretched over these tiny blooms of blue, opening and turning towards the sun on bed of green. Quivering petals expressing their full potential. Layers of light and shadow, turning to blurry colour through the photographic process.
Just myself, Eadaoin and that dog with his nose in an earthy hole.
Bliss all round!

There is a home near me that is blanketed with anemones in spring. I walked by it the other day and imagined the time soon when they would be blooming again. Thanks for giving me a glimpse of what is to come. I can see why you call it heavenly.
Catherine says
Thank you Kim!! We get an early Spring in some respects. The Celtic Spring is always February 1st St. Brigid's Day and the rest we do with our imaginations!!
