Single Apple Blossom Petal Impaled on Grass Blade, 2013

Abruptly switching from the chock-full of chaos and energy images from Nepal from the last few weeks, here’s something more fresh out of the camera from Vermont last week. It was a rainy day, and I almost didn’t go out. I thought maybe the apple petals might be falling though, and the pond-surface was clean with rain. Possibilities. Looking closely I found this one petal, with a bit of a dewy spiderweb on it no less, pierced by a single blade of grass. Maybe the grass blade grew up through the petal, or maybe the petal fell hard enough to get skewered. Neither seems likely. Something like that happened though.

Worth setting the tripod up!
