Not all trees bloom, so due attention and admiration should be given to those that do. Not only because they are beautiful and just like flowers, they are the natural adornments of this Planet. They are more than flowers. They are bouquets of flowers. Huge bouquets, huge bushes, raised high above us, as if to show us how small and insignificant we humans are compared to them. Have you ever wondered how the flowers of this Planet are located - once they are located on the ground, in most cases, low on the ground. Not because they are lower than us, but because in order to reach them, to smell them, or to enjoy them, you have to bend down, to bow to them.
And once they are high up - so to reach them, you have to raise your head, step on your toes, raise your hands. And now to show how small you are compared to them. It's tricky, isn't it? And very well thought out. I myself had problems taking these pictures. I had to reach out to somehow get the blossoms with the phone in my hands. The other reason why you should pay due attention to these blossoms is that they are extremely short-lived. And you can see that in the photos.
Because these beautiful blossoms come here with a mission, and as soon as this mission (short-term) is fulfilled, they go to give way to the fruits of this mission.
Thus, there are many reasons to stop and raise our head to the blossoms of the tree. But most of all, to thank nature for what it so generously puts at our disposal - before our eyes or in our hands. With only one small and only condition - to keep it and take care of it.
Soul's Detour is a project started by me years ago when I had a blog about historical and not so popular tourist destinations in Eastern Belgium, West Germany and Luxembourg. Nowadays, this blog no longer exists, but I'm still here - passionate about architecture, art and mysteries and eager to share my discoveries and point of view with you.
