Description

Grace is found in both intense peace and activity ... Something inside of us
releases, lets go, and says yes in its belonging to the Mystery.
~ Joel , Michelle Levy [fr Living In Balance]

Macro photography brings with it a multitude of happy surprises. My eye
caught something unique here; my lens involved me in its mystery: small,
pristine new growth in an uncommon shade of green, stalks as slim as
toothpicks all vying for their own space.

While their growth activity is going on, there is also a sense of calm and tranquility here, a feeling of peace.Einstein said experiencing mystery is to be feeling the beauty of science and art both. What captured my attention this way may surprise you (I'm tempted not to tell you, just to let you enjoy the mystery) : it was a cluster of baby garden leeks :)

For those who are interested in its botanical information :-

Leek
Allium porrum

The humble leek, the mildest flavour of the onion family, has been used
for thousands of years and praised for its many beneficial health properties.
(Wild leeks are called ramps, and have a more intense flavour). The small
bulb and several layers of white cylindrical stalk flows into tightly wrapped
green leaves.

If planted in your garden, it is said they will bless your home and banish
negative influences, and show you how sweet life can be.
