Spring Daffodil

The Netherlands, Oegstgeest – March 2021

The 140th Weekly Lens Artists Challenge is ‘change of scenery’. During the pandemic my window to the world shrunk. But this year I do what I always do in Spring: shooting the flowers growing right outside the kitchen window. The good old Nikon D500 with long lens being in use again, waiting on the kitchen table each morning when I open the shutters. A micro or macro change of scenery, but nature nurtures not only its plants. Indeed you do not have to go far for a change of scenery.

Season’s End

The theme for Lens-artists Weekly Photo Challenge #119 is ‘My hideaway’.

Autumn has come, Summer is over. The garden is no longer the place to enjoy being outside during the pandemic, looking at plants and flowers. Seasons come and go, the natural cycle continues, and Summer is waiting to come back next year, hopefully in a different setting without restrictions.

The backyard is the sanctuary, being not too big but full with flowers, among them roses. The flowers are a sanctuary for bees, buzzing over from the neighbor’s hives.
