The voice on our doorstep was loud, almost a yelling but on a rather cheerful note. Right after the initial surprise, we recognised the voice of a friend that was coming with her arms full of goodies!
When you live in a small town, nature is very close by and even when you don't have the time to go foraging yourself, a friend might do. And this particular friend not only went for a day in the countryside but she also remembered that we wanted chamomile and lavender. And she picked a whole bunch of them, just for us.
What a wonderful gift!
Even before 
And when the chamomile bouquets were comfortably hanged on an old mannequin doll, I had a vertical carpet of nature at my disposal, to photograph as I wish.
Not the most usual nature shots but I liked the paradox of having them hanging upside down, indoors and lit from a window. Not to mention that their scent is much stronger inside. They are now hanging next to me, as I write those lines and I feel like I am having a chamomile tea that never ends :)
The lavender bouquets, although equally beautiful, took much less of my attention and time but I am pretty happy with those last three pictures as well! I hope you like them too.
Happy May to everybody!
The camera that I used is a Canon EOS 6D mark II with an EF 100mm f2.8/L macro lens attached. I edited the photographs in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic.
All the pictures and the words are mine.
