I’m fascinated by plants, flowers in particular.
And I love taking pictures of them. Maybe “to prove that they really exist” [*People Take Pictures of Each Other*, written by Ray Davies]. Or to prove that there is beauty. And reasons for hope. Even in the face of climate emergency with all its destruction and extinction. We have to share stories of care, mutual aid and resilience.

Seeds are containing whole new worlds. We desperately need them.

Recently I read this advice from a flower: “Turn your face towards the sun” (Internet Phone Book 2025).
