For green for the Rainbow Challenge and new buds for the Dogwood 52 week challenge which this week is: Story Telling: New Beginnings
Our world is full of circular patterns; as some things end, others begin. Tell us a story of a New Beginning.
About the Story Telling category:
“Good photographers can take beautiful images of something. Great photographers can tell a story with an image. In this category you will take a prompt and turn it into a photographic story.”
This is a red horse chestnut. Horse chestnuts have the big sticky buds and produce conkers - this one is a hybrid. The title is a quotation from Hegel, and also makes a six word story
Three good things:
1. Daughter is massively better - the latest virus is going, so her breathing is improving;
2. Scored some entertaining goodies very reduced this evening, including a pair of trousers for £1.50, that I want for the fabric.
3. We enjoyed the wine gums that nearly featured today, green ones last
Thank you for looking and all your amazing responses and faves. I prefer to look at your pictures rather than spend time thanking you individually below
Great capture of this lovely bud and the light on it. I like your narrative and the three good things, especially that your daughter is getting better :-)
@ludwigsdiana it's only from the cold that means she's been really unwell, she's still got something else going on that the consultants aren't doing anything about.
@shutterbug49 it's a red horse chestnut tree - that big sticky bud on the left is revealing the leaves and there's a flower head beginning to be revealed on the right. I would have like to have more than one shot at this, but I was with my daughter, taking her for her daily walk, and I wasn't going to get more than one shot.
Nicely captured for all your challenges. It's very hard to find Chestnut trees in the US. There was a blight that took most of them out many years ago. Pretty shot.
