In the soft light of early spring, a vibrant blue snowdrop emerges from the mossy forest floor, its slender stem arching gracefully. Nearby, a small snail rests on a weathered pinecone, adding a touch of stillness to the scene. The blurred background of pine needles and bokeh highlights the macro beauty of this fleeting moment. This image, captured by Aleksandr Gvozd, celebrates nature’s subtle renewal and the quiet elegance of life returning to the woodland.
