Seeing 2012 (#34)

For your consideration: a display of nature's fundamental state: being infused with the joy of living.

The representative bliss in this tableau is a Golden Poppy in the embryonic stages of its development. For another of its kin in an even earlier phase, see this prior entry.

(Note: I re-posted this image on 3/16/2012, with the background lightened; the original submission's background was far too dark.)
