Nature is reviving after hibernation. As beautiful as nature is in winter, when spring comes my heart starts to sing. 
This photo is a creative edit of a macro shot of emerging reeds along the waterfront. The texture of the leaves stands out this way!
I chose to edit in black and white precisely because I want to show that a nature image has enormous charm even in shades of gray. By leaving out the color, the lines of the leaf are enhanced. I love it!
I can imagine it could have a nice place in a Scandinavian, Japandi or black and white interior because of its minimalist look.
My work is mostly inspired by nature, flowers and plants, all the beauty Mother Earth gives us. My personal tribute!
Let's take care of all that beauty, and use it with respect and love, nature can do very well without us, we not without nature!

                                        I have a passion for nature,  photography and drawing,  which comes together in the digital drawings paintings and photos of flowers and plants. 
Photography for me is all about nature and then flora in particular. Especially marcro shots and abstracts are my favourite.
