Comments on: Dried Roses and New Growth on Stems – Winter into Spring http://photographyandtransformation.com/dried-roses-and-new-growth-on-stems-winter-into-spring/2010/03/09 Seeing Your World Through New Eyes Fri, 11 May 2012 15:18:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Julie Jordan Scott http://photographyandtransformation.com/dried-roses-and-new-growth-on-stems-winter-into-spring/2010/03/09/comment-page-1#comment-7016 Julie Jordan Scott Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:43:08 +0000 http://www.photographyandtransformation.com/?p=468#comment-7016 I feel a deep-rooted pull towards leaves, especially last year's leaves... leaves that hung on beyond "usefulness" and "purpose" and hold fast to the branches, stubbornly. I respect their spirit, like I respect the spirit of these leaves, bringing life to what looked like it was dying. Who are we to slap labels of "finished" on something that obviously isn't finished at all? I would rather stand and watch and smile and be with that leaf, that flower, that branch that has more life than I knew. Thank you for the inspiration.
