Our theme this week is inspired by a beautiful exposition of Japanese nature paintings and prints I saw yesterday at the Japanmuseum Sieboldhuis in Leiden.
There were delightful birds, flowers, tigers and even a dragon. But I was at least as moved by the beasts as I was by the branches.
Some bare, some with specks of tiny flowers, some ever-green.
Branches are fascinating and beautiful.
The way they extend across three-dimensional space.
How they grow and reach.
Divide the frame.
And in spring, how they signal the start of the new cycle as they start sprouting tiny leaves or flowers.
Today, start by observing branches you come across.
And yes, feel free to include bank, river and other branches.
Spot them, capture them and share them on Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #kramerseye.
