Between Excitement and Repose

We wait with excitement for new birth, in our gardens and in our families. We eagerly search for the first shoots, the first bits of springtime. Spring leads to summer, which brings fall, and before we know it the garden has again entered a period of inactivity as winter descends. We can draw parallels to the times of our lives, and the sense of silence and contemplation that meets us as we slip into repose. These floral images are sun prints, reminding us of the time when the sun was shining and the garden was alive with fresh green growth.
