What the season changes

The same arch, two seasons.

Same structure, same venue, same position on the hill. Five months apart in the year and almost nothing in common on it.

May

A ceremony arch in May, built with pale spring flowers

October

The same ceremony arch in October, built with rich autumn flowers

May · Hawkesdene

Ranunculus, tulip, lilac and sweet pea. Pale, loose, and short-lived — built at 7am for a 4pm ceremony because half of it would have been over by evening otherwise.

October · Hawkesdene

Dahlia, chrysanthemum, amaranth, seed heads and branches. Twice the physical weight, three times the colour, and it would have stood happily for two days.
