In flowers we discover true enlightenment, no matter their shape, size, texture, or color. Against all odds the miniscule beginning of every bloom seems to find its way, conquering what at first seems impossible. In this knowledge we learn the most beautiful of life’s lessons, that we too can blossom where we are planted. Available in 16 x 20 inch and 18 x 24 inch art prints, this floral depiction of the nodding poppy is a numbered edition of 25 in each size. Printed on Giclée museum quality paper and delivered unframed with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, this black and white art print (along with its color counterpart, Light) is the wonder of nature epitomized in a striking capture of defiance — a tribute to the beauty born from this earth when winter fades for the season of new life.

  A seed more petite than a wisp of dust landed on the earth below. The wind slowly covered them, wrapping her up in autumn's warm embrace. A time for seeping, a time for becoming. As they learned the gift of rest, they dreamed of all the lives before, the ones who loved them. The constant paths not taken, the courses avoided from fear of the unknown. In the darkness of winter, with autumn's coat wrapped around them, they wondered if this was what the end felt like. Time ticked on like it always does. The one constant in all life is the way it continues. Spring came with its melted frost and balmy dewdrop mornings. The verdant green captivated and left one feeling like a storybook was being painted right in front of their very eyes. Our little wisp of a seed was becoming a sprout out of the ground. They felt sunshine and realized, winter was never the end but the roots of beginning. They watched around them as others bloomed in every shade and hue. Tall and short, petals of gossamer lace and stems of thorns. They wondered what they should be, and then as they tilted their head towards that radiant warmth of the sun. Surrendering to what they were. 

  In flowers, we find the most potent kind of wisdom, whether made of color and light or shrouded in black and white. The knowledge that reminds us that we will bloom wherever we are planted. That our beauty was the beauty always meant for this world. Each is a unique blueprint of something quite wondrous. What a gift to capture this knowledge through a fine art photography lens. A being that will never be again, not in this skin or with these eyes. When we abandon all that we think we should be and embrace the natural callings of our souls. We awaken. Just as the wisp of a seed from autumn's coat to winter's hibernation, to the blooming heartbeat of Spring. We are awake.
