Spring!


Finally spring is here….and how! Temperatures are rising above 20 degrees-celcius and as a result nature’s exploding with blossem, insects and birds. It is a treat for the senses. So it was when photographing early spring flowers near Oldenzaal. This photo was taken in a wood where the bottom was covered in Common Wood-sorrel (Oxalis acetosella). I try to isolate single plants from the rest by lying flat and using the flowers as a curtain. This young European hornbeam was penetrating the sea of Wood-sorrels. These spring flowers are all struggeling for as much sunlight as possible, as in a few weeks the trees will have leaves and the sun will be gone……….
