Description
A young cherry-tree, shining and blooming,My heart is singing,
An old green-oak, sighing and leaning,
My soul is bleeding,
Our lives are full of contraries
And complements,
Our inner travels are full of differences
And possibilities,
Choosing sometimes means loosing,
Sorting always means missing,
Something, someone...
So let’s take all...!
Then let’s love all...!
Wisdom is and will always be our most difficult path...
I’ve taken this picture today 1:30 pm, at 100 m from my garden; the light was very strange; in fact there was no light, the sky and the sun were like dead for a while...!! I didn’t de-saturate the sky; these are the real and natural colours... I just added contrast on the whole picture and clarity just on the cherry flowers with Photo Shop... I also use now the noise-reduction of Paint Shop Pro 9 which is easy and really nice...

The cherry tree has no thorns. You may pick freely and eat. We have been given an exquisite sense of taste so we can appreciate the wonderful and savory juice of the cherry. We were given the gift of being able to appreciate the things our body needs. Herein lies wisdom, that we may appreciate and be thankful for the good things in life. Always as we become older, we learn to savor these things more and more, as we learn of the possibilities through suffering and disappointment. Nature teaches us that rain must come from the dark and threatening clouds, but that the rain is our life blood. Even the beautiful flowers bring pleasure to our nostrils and senses, and are appreciated around the world.

Wow, all natural colours?
The trees look so vivid with light
Yet the sky is so blank..
This is odd!

I see what you mean by the sky being dead! I don't think I've ever seen the sky looking that grey!! Another nicely balanced composition....

Le ciel crée un mouvement et une profondeur impressionnante.
Le regard se porte parfois devant, parfois au loin. On ne sait plus où donner de la tête...

To live is to know to make the certain choices and to choose is to know to lose too. Yes, I think that the life is full of contrary... as well as the threatening sky still more enhances the delicacy of the cherry-tree... and the bending oak, instead passing the fatigue idea, gives shelter to us, passes protection to us. It’s a beautiful image. Perfect metaphor of your words.
