The last flowers of the land: the dahlia, the yellow sunflower and in the background the blackberries. Autumn storms sweep across the land, taking the last remnants of summer with them. It can be the same inside. Flowers were blooming, but a storm blows everything away. In the tangle of inner movement and emotions, flowers remain a colourful focal point. Keep seeing life, even if it is not visible above ground for a while. Indeed, the flowers will remain because of the seeds they spread across the land. When a flower dies, it blooms a thousand times. The wind blows tiny seeds across the cropland and one day when the storm has died down, memories just come back to the surface.
What once was, comes back differently.
The flowers were picked on 't Tulse Field on the Lek.
