a lovely flower that gives happiness to your day...

being alive is a gift

"Life is made up of moments, small pieces of glittering mica in a long, stretch of gray cement. It would be wonderful if they came to us unsummoned, but particularly in lives as busy as the ones most of us lead now, that won’t happen. We have to teach ourselves how to make room for them, to love them, and to live, really live."
-- Anna Quindlen

A beautiful punch of color and the faint shadows cast by the flower's many petals helps give it depth.
