Stunning May and June 2024 Rose Garden in Oegstgeest, Netherlands

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – May and June 2024

A rose is a rose is a rose, someone wrote that a long time ago. But it is still true, each rose is unique. So much symbolism and sweetness in a picture. The garden offers them in abundance this year.

Allium Bulbflowers in Oegstgeest, Netherlands – A Twin Set of Mono and Color

Allium is one of our favorite bulbflowers in the garden. I present it as a twin set of mono next to color. Each version brings out different qualitaties in the flower I think, but that is of course subjective.

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – May 2024

A wet garden at night. And by the way, I love that WordPress AI generating amazing titles that I can not come up with. I stick with them as long as they make me smile. Nocturnal, sounds like a great piece of music.

Obscured by Trees

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – April 2024

The Lens Artists Photo Challenge #297 is ‘music to my eyes’. Images and music are a strong way of bringing back memories, feelings, situations you once experienced. This photo clicked my memory for a Pink Floyd album ‘Obscured by clouds’. It is not so much the clouds that obscure in this image, the branches of the trees create a web of lines over the sky and sun.

Magnolia

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – January 2024

After dropping its leaves the Magnolia immediately prepares to grow out again in Spring, I always wonder where they get their weather information.

Rain and Shine

A Magnolia tree. Autumn is a time of rapid changes. It can be light and sunny with wonderful colors on display, or grim and dim in rain. Both have its unique beauty in my humble opinion.

The lens artists photo challenge #278 is ‘unique’.
