The Dance of Spiraea and Forsythia...

Spring was very short this year but mother nature compensated us for this with the blooming of many plants at the same time - so you could enjoy blossoms which normally appear one after the other such as these - the dance of spiraea and forsythia:

The one the Header is from...the Blossoms of Forsythia

Forgot to show you the photo the header is currently cropped from - an exceptionally beautiful forsythia - more or less near to where I live. What I like is that this one was kept quite natural - I don't like those artificial cuts on blossom bushes...

Yellow Blossom Beauties...

Did I say it already? The forsythia are extremely beautiful this year - not only is the colour incredibly intense but the blooms last a long time...

A glorious Composition - Blossoms of Cherry and Forsythia...

Normally you won't see this composition here because when the cherries start to bloom the forsythia are already gone. But this year everything is different again...

Forsythia Blossoms - full Bloom

I cannot explain why but this year the Forsythia seem to be exceptionally beautiful and intense in their colours. Maybe it's because they had to wait for so long to be able to bloom - 2 months later than usual!!

Forsythia - the Sun Blossom

For this year it's over - the blossoms of the Forsythia are gone but I managed to photograph at least a few again. I call them the Sun Blossoms because they are the first colour which can be seen after our long winters...

Forsythia - Blossoms in Yellow

I decided to dedicate this blog entirely to the photography of blooms and blossoms only because I want to share what nature sometimes gives us in abundance. The timeframe where we can fully enjoy this colour feast is often much too short or - as it just happens in the city of Munich - the weather does not allow the blossom trees to show their full potential. This means, either it is too cold for the blossoms to open fully or the rain destroys their delicate beauty before they had their chance. So the photos shown here have been collected in more than 3 years now.

Citifolks often have lost their relationship to nature and rushing from one appointment to another seldom leaves the freedom to really enjoy the gifts of Mother Nature. I want to show what is often missed because most people don't see any more what's in their direct environment.And often gardens have become too small for planting trees because the space is needed for living.

So I try to catch these miracles as often as I can with my camera and whenever the weather allows me to do this. I want to share what I have seen in abundance and still cannot get enough...
