Mimosa II

Some further Mimosa impressions ... I did a Mimosa soap with ground blossoms and leafs. To intensify the scent I added a few drips of Mimosa oil. Seeing these pics I get the scent again.

Mimosa

I am not keen on yellow shades, exept for this amazing plant ... I can not get enough of Mimosas. During the last days while a was shooting these fragile botanical chains of lights I enjoyed beeing surrounded by their incredible scent ...

Merry Christmas!

I wish you and your families a Happy Holiday Season
 and a joyful and peaceful New Year!

Red and yellow

Still diving in autumn colors, red strawberry leafs (above, red maple on the right) and yellow glowing maple foliage gathered in a bunch.

Autumn meets winter

Last weekend Advent season started. Actually I felt rather puzzled as I always do in November by the fast pace of time and life. Autumn is fading into Christmas time and this is what this bunch captures. White Amaryllis and delicate blossoms of Australian Christmas shrub represent festive wintery mood while oak foliage still lingers in melancholic farewells to this years flowering season.

I wish you all a less stressed, joyful pre-Christmas period!

Indigo splashes

Some results or so to speak by-products of the leaf shoot. Indigo water colour works very well with autumn leaf shades.

Leaf necklaces

Another motif of my latest autumn photo production: A very simple but effective way of using leafs is to make prints into modeling clay. I love this diy project because it actually emphasises the fragile and delicate structure of leafs.

Autumn Leafs

Although there are only a few leafs left trembling in the bare trees I am working on a leaf story. It is amazing how the last warm autumnal sun beams seam to be captured in the shiny yellow birch leafs. Just a single branch can make us feel less gloomy.
