Nature's Wonder

Nature's Wonder

"True beauty is a ray That springs from the sacred depths of the soul, and illuminates the body, just as life springs from the kernel of a stone and gives colour and scent to a flower." — Kahlil Gibran more from the garden, in Springtime! ツ ツ ツ Painting on Grey Days Series #1 *Sony NEX-6 and Vivitar 100mm AF Macro Lens My work is for sale via Getty Images and at Redbubble and 500px ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © ALL RIGHT RESERVED © / © TUTTI I DIRITTI RISERVATI © / © TODOS LOS DERECHOS RESERVADOS © / © 保留所有权利 © / © TOUS DROITS RÉSERVÉS © Do not use my images without my permission./ Non utilizzare le mie immagini senza il mio consenso./ No usar mis imágenes sin mi permiso. / 未经我许可的情况下不要使用我的图片a ©2012- Tom Raven - Toute reproduction, même partielle INTERDITE

Frozen Bud

Frozen Bud

"A Christmas frost had come at midsummer; a white December storm had whirled over June; ice glazed the ripe apples, drifts crushed the blowing roses; on hayfield and cornfield lay a frozen shroud: lanes which last night blushed full of flowers, to-day were pathless with untrodden snow; and the woods, which twelve hours since waved leafy and flagrant as groves between the tropics, now spread, waste, wild, and white as pine-forests in wintry Norway." — Charlotte Brontë another freezing spring day and more fun experimenting with the Nokia Pureview 808 camera and an old Ricoh lens. This tiny bud, the size of my fingernail, seems frozen in place... no movement for days. ツ ツ ツ *Nokia 808 Pureview and a Ricoh Rikenon 50mm f1.2 lens My work is for sale via Getty Images and at Redbubble and 500px ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © ALL RIGHT RESERVED © / © TUTTI I DIRITTI RISERVATI © / © TODOS LOS DERECHOS RESERVADOS © / © 保留所有权利 © / © TOUS DROITS RÉSERVÉS © Do not use my images without my permission./ Non utilizzare le mie immagini senza il mio consenso./ No usar mis imágenes sin mi permiso. / 未经我许可的情况下不要使用我的图片a ©2012- Tom Raven - Toute reproduction, même partielle INTERDITE

Abstract Spring

Abstract Spring

"You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person died for no reason." — Ernest Hemingway (A Moveable Feast) Its just too damn cold to be Spring... ツ ツ ツ *Nikon 1 V1 and Nikon 55-200mm Nikkor ED VR G Lens My work is for sale via Getty Images and at Redbubble and 500px ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © ALL RIGHT RESERVED © / © TUTTI I DIRITTI RISERVATI © / © TODOS LOS DERECHOS RESERVADOS © / © 保留所有权利 © / © TOUS DROITS RÉSERVÉS © Do not use my images without my permission./ Non utilizzare le mie immagini senza il mio consenso./ No usar mis imágenes sin mi permiso. / 未经我许可的情况下不要使用我的图片a ©2012- Tom Raven - Toute reproduction, même partielle INTERDITE

Angel Watching Over Me

Angel Watching Over Me

"When God had made The Man, he made him out of stuff that sung all the time and glittered all over. Some angels got jealous and chopped him into millions of pieces, but still he glittered and hummed. So they beat him down to nothing but sparks but each little spark had a shine and a song. So they covered each one over with mud. And the lonesomeness in the sparks make them hunt for one another." — Zora Neale Hurston (Their Eyes Were Watching God) Its just over 6 months since I got hit by a car doing 70mph while walking on a pedestrian crossing in Switzerland.... the car came off worse than I did.... there must have been an angel watching over me ツ ツ ツ *Nikon 1 V1 and Nikon 35mm f1.8 Nikkor VR G Lens My work is for sale via Getty Images and at Redbubble and 500px ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © ALL RIGHT RESERVED © / © TUTTI I DIRITTI RISERVATI © / © TODOS LOS DERECHOS RESERVADOS © / © 保留所有权利 © / © TOUS DROITS RÉSERVÉS © Do not use my images without my permission./ Non utilizzare le mie immagini senza il mio consenso./ No usar mis imágenes sin mi permiso. / 未经我许可的情况下不要使用我的图片a ©2012- Tom Raven - Toute reproduction, même partielle INTERDITE

Berry Old and Berry New

Berry Old and Berry New

"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true. “Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary" — Steve Jobs More fun with the Nikon 1 V1 ツ ツ ツ *Nikon 1 V1 and Nikon 55-200mm Nikkor ED VR G Lens My work is for sale via Getty Images and at Redbubble and 500px ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © ALL RIGHT RESERVED © / © TUTTI I DIRITTI RISERVATI © / © TODOS LOS DERECHOS RESERVADOS © / © 保留所有权利 © / © TOUS DROITS RÉSERVÉS © Do not use my images without my permission./ Non utilizzare le mie immagini senza il mio consenso./ No usar mis imágenes sin mi permiso. / 未经我许可的情况下不要使用我的图片a ©2012- Tom Raven - Toute reproduction, même partielle INTERDITE
