Human-Nature on Late Blooms

CLIMBING THE WALLS

Where are we headed as a species - humans, I mean. What do we conclude when our baser nature shows itself? It’s customary to conclude we’re headed in a forward, upward moving direction when the best of our human nature comes out.. On the contrary, when there’s selfishness, greed, indifference, disrespect and our “lower” nature manifests itself, there is a great disconnect. This disconnect takes place within and without.

Spring Magnolias

Magnolia tree

Attracting me,

Gladly blooming.

Nothing to prove

Only to bloom profusely,

Lovely you are with your pink hues.

Imbuing all with joy at Spring’s arrival

Annulling all the hardship of the winter past.

How lovely it was in High Park today. Sheer beauty! The magnolia’s time for blooming has come and irregardless of who’s watching or what anyone’s saying, she’s mesmerizing to everyone. Photographers are there trying to capture her beauty from all angles and positions. Some are taking microcosmic views and others macrocosmic ones. She knows how to be both beautiful and still.

Peacock proud!

I have a weakness for both artsy paper products and peacocks. I’m fascinated with just how beautiful the covers of journals have become as well as greeting cards and stationary. Peacocks are ostentatious and showy and make a colourful subject to attract the attention of buyers and admirers of peacocks alike. All the images in this collage come from such products. I took them at different times because of their attractiveness and wasn’t sure how I would use them. They just seemed to be begging to be photo-collaged and this is the result.
