Snowdrop forest in full bloom by Karla Leeftink

What a special experience to walk through this forest in early spring. There are no leaves on the trees yet but there is a beautiful white carpet of flowering snowdrops. The narrow tree trunks here and there give a nice view through to the other side of the plot. I stay at a spot where the bomb trunks lead the viewer nicely into the picture. So you go with the snowdrops into the forest. My mother was dying and I could still tell her of the first snowdrop to emerge in our garden in Overijssel. Snowdrops therefore gained a special place in my photography. That I would come across such a special fairytale forest full of snowdrops this year in the month when my mother died, I did not expect. The freshness and massiveness of the flowers particularly appealed to me. In an interior, this work will add a bit of atmosphere. The lines create an excellent sense of depth. Adding this fresh spring forest to your interior will make a narrow hall or room seem larger. Bring spring inside and enjoy.

Karla Leeftink prefers to photograph in the peace and quiet of early mornings with a hint of mysterious mist. The Drentsche-Aa region and the Reest valley are ideal for this with their frequently occurring misty landscapes. She also likes the wide open Wadden Sea landscapes and rough Norwegian fjord landscapes. Standing under the stars she is in her element and impressed by creation. In a frozen puddle and on knots of trees she spontaneously sees abstract works of art before her.

At her nature presentations she enthusiastically shares her nature experiences and lets others enjoy them with the help of her photo and video material. She has set up a line of cards with about a hundred cards, in which she has incorporated her own photos. She contributes photos to magazines and is author of the book "Reeën het jaar rond ". (released in 2018)
