Finis -Arboretum May 2020 Title: The earth above, the the sky below
Another title for this collage fantasy is "The Triumph of Spring."
Spring came in 2020.
I remember it did. Nothing could stop it.
May flowers are beacons of hope and renewal, and they are quietly nurtured in this sanctuary.
Here, a lone walker passes under a blooming canopy while a peony floats above all the shuffling below. "Rock's Peony" was brought back to the Arnold Arboretum from China by Joseph Rock in the 1930s. Further afield is the flower of the Chinese Dove Tree soaring out of bounds -- and I can imagine leaving the earth to a higher realm.
For me, this photographic record of my spent afternoon is somewhere I can pause to ponder my place between the sky and the earth -- and walk on healing passageways.
