Photo of the Week: Winter Blossom

The photo of the week comes with a little story. We bought a peach tree for our garden on a mere whim. It was there, in store, so we bought it. It was the end of autumn. With our severe lack of gardening skills, as this was the first rented garden we were allowed to work in, we managed to get the tree into the soil in the best possible place: spot on in the middle of the tiny garden. 

The tree, ignoring our enthusiastic attempts of planting, stayed leafless. We thought we were perhaps watering a dead tree all through winter. Come spring, my wife came to me highly excited, but refused to tell me why. 

Instead, she dragged me outside to our first tree together. Our first tree together. Surely, this is also considered a relationship landmark? To my wife's surprise (as I could never doubt my less-than-professional gardening skill) the tree showed than spring was indeed the time of life. The tree showed it's alive and very resilient with a few green leafs and pretty pink flowers.

It was hard not to take my first picture with our much needed new camera of these beautiful flowers. Thus, without further ado, here is our first photo of the week:

This was the first photo that I took with the new camera,
which is why it is also the first photo of the week!

This photo is justly named, as it seems to hold onto the coldness that still hangs in the air. Yet the colours of the flowers are so vibrant.

The manipulated version of this photo is on our DeviantArt and Instagram. The manipulated version brings out the cold colours even more. You can also purchase the manipulated version on DeviantArt as a print to decorate your home!
