I bet this year I won't be taking photos of the flowering trees in the spring.
No, not because I don't want spring to come.
On the contrary.
Here I am today with photos of flowering trees. Guess why? I'm the king of posting photos from other seasons, as I've been showing you a lot of summer posts so far. And here is the spring post.
I know, sometimes I overdo my unconventionality.
It's one thing to show summer photos in winter. This is nothing, since in the other hemisphere, at exactly the same time, people live in summer. So posting summer photos is not that original.
But spring? It's not spring anywhere this time of year. And that is exactly what feels very strange, even stranger, the strangest.
But I was talking about this year and this spring. Will I be taking pictures this spring?
You know I haven't been taking pictures this fall. Well, with the few exceptions of one thing I couldn't miss - the color of my favorite fruit tree in autumn.
But in the spring...
Do you remember all my posts from last spring?
You may not remember all this research I did. No, the word is not exactly research, but observations.
First, I have made a catalog of the flowers of the fruit trees for you.
I wanted to show you their colors because I wasn't aware of them myself.
Then there were all these observation posts that studied the development of certain plants - trees, shrubs, flowers... An awful lot of work.
Almost every day I was in the garden to take pictures.
But you know what? I'm someone who gets bored easily. Even the annual things that happen every year bore me.
Even the monotony of winter bores me and I look for ways to diversify it - with photos from other seasons.
No, it's not spring that bores me. After all, we all look forward to it. I am bored by my actions.
So, I'm sure I'll find something much more interesting next spring/this spring.
And I'm requesting it right now.
You know life is unpredictable. Half a year ago, I never imagined that I would reach this point, that I would be in this place.
This is because life is unpredictable, and cannot even be planned. That's what's good about it.
It just needs movement. Nothing more. Movement and change. After death and stagnation in winter.
