Nature Greetings

I have two lightboxes for people of a less religious persuasion who, nonetheless, like to send greetings on festive occasions.

Nature greetings for Easter Typically (but not exclusively), Easter cards will feature flowers, new-born birds and mammals or spring landscapes.

Nature greetings for Christmas Winter scenes of ice and snow, which may feature landscapes, plants, birds or mammals. A cheerful red colour is popular, as are red and green together.

I like to feature a mix of media in a lightbox, so illustrations, audio and videos are welcome, as well as photographs. Before submitting, please think how your submission will work on a greetings card or other Christmas message.

I will look at all suggestions but cannot guarantee to accept them all.

This wood with wild garlic also says Spring to me, maybe it's the idea of a treasure hunt through the forest for eggs that it reminds me of:





And a cold snowy landscape for Christmas:

Kieran: I like the rugged outdoors on a Christmas card. It emphasises the warmth of indoors!

Thanks Pauline. Selected two for each season.

lightfiction, those two just fall short of what I'm looking for.

Awesome, thanks Whiteway.  Meant to say this is a good idea for lightboxes too, make a change from angels and crucifixes.

^ Thank you. Nature is my subject, and it provides suitable scenarios for greetings in any season, I think. Sometimes you just have to go out and do it yourself!
