Qurrat Ansari - Spring Time Photography 06/19/2010
Only a few months ago was everyone impatiently anticipating the arrival of spring. When all the eyes could see was a super-perfect white blanket of snow. Cold winds, snowfalls, snow storms wouldn’t stop! (Well, it wasn’t so intense this year as much as it was last year) but the whole point being, everyone's eagerness for the sun to shine all day long, and see green sprout all around them, to see those flowers bloom beautifully in all possible colours, everywhere they went. I, as a passionate photographer kept my eyes open for the green to arrive along with all the beautiful little flowers. And really, it wasn’t up until then did I realized the true beauty of Allah's(swt) way of managing this entire creation. The way everything in this universe is intricately designed, from the start of a flower's life and the end of a flower's life for instance. It's just SO amazing. Here are a few pictures from what I was able to spot so far in the season. Mind you, spring isn’t at its full bloom yet, but everything still seems so beautiful! There's this whole new world at our footsteps. The world is full of colors. All we've got to do is stoop down a little, open our eyes and observe everything beneath.
