Summer’s Crown VII

A timeless meditation on abundance and grace, this photograph holds the viewer in a suspended moment, where petals become symbols of both peak vitality and gentle surrender. Richly colored and profoundly alive, the image channels the grandeur of still-life painting with the immediacy of the lens. One is reminded of Virginia Woolf’s words: “Arrange whatever pieces come your way.” Here, the pieces are nature’s crown jewels, fleeting yet immortalized.
