The Touch of LightThe sun was shinning bright and I discovered that the pink poppy
was lit up and casting a shadow on the back side of itself.
A bug can also be found as a shadow. Mapleton, OR. (July 2008).

The Perpetual ReachThe sun hits this beautiful flower, revealing to us its many layers.

it's perpetual quest for life or Perpetual Reach.

in the garden. Like it watches over the other flowers as a guardian.

seeming not to be able to get its fill. It buzzes away and on to the

The forest behind adds the perfect background. Mapleton, OR. (July 2008).

me think of someone's inner beauty bursting from them and shinning
out on the world around. Mapleton, OR. (July 2008).
