Floral Souls

Seductive like the song of the silence in the night

A view on flowers like you have never seen them before...

Almost Ready For Independence

Summer Morning

Longing for that morning,
I remember the garden
where I used to walk
Alone among the flowers
as the sun rose
into a long summer day

A walk through a flower garden, early on a summer morning. Musing amidst the allium, is it a memory, or a dream?

Longing For Light

Longing flower, gold
splashes on fragile
petals, dancing
in the sun's first light

It's early in the morning. A beautiful iris opens its flower and turns toward the sun. The petals bathe themselves in light, seeming to dance in slow motion.

Sumer Evening

Longing for that evening
I remember the garden
where I used to walk
Alone among the flowers
as the sun drowned
into a warm summer night

Weeks later, the allium has finished blooming. Her exuberant colors fade to an earthy brown, seed pods form where the purple has sacrificed itself so the seeds can ripen.

And then the seed pods open, the seeds slowly becoming visible, until the flower is ready to release them and the earth takes care of them.

Serenade In Blue

A Kiss Of Light

Holding on to my dream, 
slowly 
awakened by a
kiss of light

Time to wake up from another spring dream....

Novice

Spring is a time of amazement. Amazement at the speed with which plants grow, develop flower buds, form leaves. And from the smallest of seeds, in only a few weeks, a plant germinates, greedily seeking light, reaching for the sky.

Swirling Dance

Light drunken flowers
A swirling dance
in sun-drenched haze

Flowers of the Lathyrus odoratus (Sweet pea), seem to perform a whirling dance, drunk on sunlight.

Flaming

Noonday summer dreams
when the sun uses her warm breath
to paint liquid flames

A honeysuckle flower in summer.

Tenderness (1)

Touched By Morning Light

The Meadow Cranesbill (Geranium pratense, Dutch: Beemdooievaarsbek).

Untouched

Delicate faded flowers of weed, untouched by the wind.

Summer Flames

Flames from within
The sunlight warming our heart
A summer flower

The inside of a flower of a nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus), illuminated by bright sunlight.

Wild at Heart (2)

My smile may be
smooth, inside I am
still wild at heart

The tulip. A cultivated flower, sleek and smooth, that doesn’t really appeal to me.
But even such a flower – perfected to human taste – must have a wild side, which we normally don’t see, don’t you think?

The results of a search to the heart of the tulip in 3 photos, an answer to the question if there is still something of the original wild variety in the flower as we know it…

Enchanting Witchcraft

Evanesce

A plant of which I have made several series of minimalistic photos is the giant hogweed. The seed pods of the faded plant look like spaceships, ready to disappear into the light after they have released their seeds.

Untouchable

Withering flowers awaken, leaning
against the pale white morning light.
Untouchable, like a dream high in the sky

A quiet autumn morning in our garden. It seems to be a beautiful day, the sky is without clouds. The last flowering plants awaken, shivering in the chilly breeze.

Dancing With The Sun

I made this photo of the Prunus serrulata, the Japanese cherry, in the garden of the house where we lived in The Netherlands.

Veiled In Lilac

The Lathyrus latifolius, the Ornamental pea, photographed in the  garden of the house where we lived in The Netherlands.

Faded Sensitivity (4)

Lavender Fusion

The flowers move slowly,
colors and scents mingle
The senses of summer

A warm summer day. Colors, scents and sounds blend into a slow rhythm that undulates over the land.
Nature slowly moves along with this summer song.

Ready To Bloom

A flower, ready
for the morning sun,
to unfold and bloom

Tiny wild flowers, two of them already fading, one waiting to explode in beautiful colors...
