I dream life

[fotostef]

I have a dream,
a dream that goes away every night
and returns with the first light of the dawn.
A dream full of light and growth.
I dream life.

DAY 1

I dream of dark soil
rich and fluffy,
full of nutrients
and patient seeds,
waiting for their best chance
to pop up.
I dream life.

---

---

---

DAY 2

I dream of young sprouts
eager to rise from the ground
and reach for the sun,
so ignorant and so wise.
I dream life.

---

---

---

DAY 3

I dream of a green forest
tall and slender,
as an alien on earth.
I dream of figures, light and shadows,
I dream life.

---

---

---

DAY 4

I dream of walking in this alien forrest
naked and content
living in harmony with all the creatures
that move graciously
from the shadows to the light.
I dream life.

On a more mundane level, those are green mizuna microgreens during the first four days of their sprouting, on our kitchen bench. And soon they'll be part of our salad :)

Have a lovely Sunday and a wonderful March ahead!

_{The camera that I used is a Canon EOS 6D mark II with an EF 100mm f2.8L macro lens attached. I edited the photographs in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic.}

All the pictures and the words are mine.

This is just beautiful!!!! I haven't seen a post like this before and it certainly shows another side of you... I love this so much.

[fotostef]

Thank you very much for saying that. It is definitely not my usual style and since I am not very confident about my English, I am a bit reluctant trying to write that way!

I am so glad you liked it :)

[riverflows]

I really, really did!!!

WOW,WOW,WOW,WOW, WOOoooooooOOOOWiiiie!!!

I love this so so much. I have had to grow sprouted plants in school as must have every student around the world. And I always did love the way the sprouts looked. But never thought of giving it the photographic treatment as you have. I am so enchanted with this catalog of photos - the wonderful greens. the early struggle to pop out, the texture and fertility of the soil => WOW!

Thank you for sharing such happiness :)

If you had to choose from the photos published here which one, or ones, would you pick as the portfolio entry?

[fotostef]

Thank you very much!

Yes, we were sprouting lentils in school too. I guess you are right, it must be a global thing :)

I usually make a collage of photographs for the first picture of a post when I can't decide which one I should choose. Same here!

But my most favourites are the last one and the third of day 3, the one with the blue background!

[brijwhiz]

The blue background one is beautiful for sure. I like the early buds popping out of shell pics too.

Microgreens are always a beauty, they look simple yet very pleasing to eyes. Good afternoon!

[fotostef]

They are beautiful indeed!

Lovely bokehs here. I often shoot in portrait mode with my phone for that bokeh effect.

This is a very beautiful piece of poetry explaining life in the form of a simple thing like sowing seeds in the soil, watching it sprout and then responding to the light stimulus.

[fotostef]

I am glad you liked it!
