At the beginning of the month Kat Sloma<\/a> invites us to look through our photos from the previous month and choose one that stands out and speaks to the heart. <\/p>\n

I had a couple of \u2018dates with my camera\u2019 in April, we have had some beautiful sunny days, the dog is getting the hang of me saying \u201chang on I need to make a picture\u201d, I have been practicing using my macro lens and I have had a lesson on making some better pictures with my phone. All this activity resulted in 728 pictures in my April folder!
\nAnd the one that speaks the loudest?
\nThis one.<\/p>\n

\"Quince\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I took it with my iPhone. It is out of focus, due to camera shake (hence the lessons).
\nBut I think it is beautiful.
\nThe evening I took it was fun, full of love & laughter and a gorgeous meal.
\nOn the way back to the car, I noticed this Quince in the half-light, which amused my family. They wanted to know how someone with such poor eyesight could see anything<\/em> let alone recognise a plant in the dark?<\/p>\n

My grandmother had a quince out side her front door when I was a child. She made quince jelly with the fruits but I loved the flower in the spring.
\nThe Owl and the Pussycat<\/a> ate slices of quince didn\u2019t they? At my (primary) school, in our English class, we learnt Edward Lears rhyme for a spoken poetry and prose competition.<\/p>\n

How could I not choose this picture? I am smiling at the memories as I type.<\/p>\n

I took the picture and put some digital magic over it.
\nI saw the possibility of beauty within the blur.
\nLook longer. Look harder. Look deeper.
\nYou might just find what you\u2019re looking for\u2026
\nOr something better? <\/p>\n

I enjoy participating in Kat’s monthly practice and there are always beautiful Photo Heart Connections there.<\/p>\n
