Ferns and Bench, Thuya Gardens, Mount Desert Island, Maine © Doug Hickok (Click on image for larger view.) This solitary bench placed next to a lush growth of ferns seems the perfect spot for quiet contemplation... maybe on this week's celebration of green and the first week of spring. Something else for you to contemplate is the photography link below... When walking along the street, have you ever had the sudden urge to bust a ballet move, perhaps leaping into the air and performing a grand jete´ ? Then you will appreciate this set of intriguing images. |

Gorgeous carpet of green Doug. And amidst it all this entirely inviting bench beckons the weary. I'd like to rest a spell here.
ReplyDeleteAs it must be nice to sit there on that bench in the middle of a beautiful countryside. A nice place to relax and forget the little worries of life
ReplyDeletespectacular green, what a natural explosion!!!

ReplyDeleteIt's a got spot for meditation, Doug! Did I miss the link in the second paragraph?
ReplyDeleteThey say that looking at greeneries is a stress-reliever. This is true as I looked at your photo, I felt relaxed. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteutterly gorgeous, doug.
ReplyDeleteAlmost looks like you would have to wade into a lush green patch of fern just to sit down. Id be ok with that though :)

you're right, doug ... this is the right colour and mood to celebrate the long longed-for return of spring ...
ReplyDeleteincredible how long i haven't been here (at your site) - first the surprise trip to italy, then work, work, work ... but here i am again, thankfully! took a look at your posts and as usual i'm full of admiration for your sense of detail and colour and your choice of motif !!! it's always a great pleasure to be here, also for the interesting links you provide us with, like today's! amazing 'dance' scenes indeed ...
have a great weekend ...
Lovely shot Doug, that green is intoxicating - and probably posted 6 days too late!!!. Incidentally, I know (of) a man named Fred who used to dance all around the streets, especially when raining!.
ReplyDeleteSO gorgeous... that green! Wow!
ReplyDeleteThis bench really seems to appear from ferns! Great capture!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day.
