Description
OMG! Thank you so so much for the DD!
--------
I wish it were spring
cunningly blowing on the fallen sparks, odds and ends of the old, scattered fire,
and kindling shapely little conflagrations
curious long-legged foals, and wide-eared calves, and naked sparrow-bubs.
I wish that spring
would start the thundering traffic of feet
new feet on the earth, beating with impatience.
I wish it were spring, thundering
delicate, tender spring.
I wish these brittle, frost-lovely flowers of passionate, mysterious corruption
were not yet to come still more from the still-flickering discontent.
Oh, in the spring, the bluebell bows him down for very exuberance,
exulting with secret warm excess,
bowed down with his inner magnificence!
('Craving for Spring' - D. H. Lawrence)

No problem. It isn't often that pictures that are more "abstract" (I like nature photography) touch me...so it was nice to have a billion good childhood memories come flooding back with your picture.

Spring. This image screams the welcoming of the renewal of all things colorful and vibrant in the world. I love the colors so rich and springy. The cup of 'tea' looks so inviting, and the floral decoration makes it all the more wonderful.
Those strawberries look tasty, and remind me of the strawberry festival held this time of year where I am from. They compliment the other items in the image perfectly.
One of my favorite little accents in this image is the slight bokeh that dances near the bottom of the strawberries and on the left side of the cup. It draws your attention to the fresh, plump, virbantly red strawberries just a bit and upward to the edge of the cup and the flowers nestled next to it on the left side.
All in all, very well done!

Lovely. My mind sketches a story of a slightly hazy spring morning--a buoyant, easy solitude in the kitchen of an old farmhouse. Very evocative photography.
