Seeing 2012 (#89)

For your consideration:  a small sample of  the profound, delicate beauty which nature engineers from the simplicity of sun, water, a bit of breeze and a tiny patch of soil.

We large-brained bipeds enjoy characterizing ourselves as possessed of advanced technological skills and inclinations . . . yet it remains beyond our feeble efforts to create such a living demonstration of exquisite artistry from whole cloth.

Go gently, tend to your own garden, and witness the elegant results. One needs not embark on exotic ventures to other locales in search of new wonders:  sweetness beckons at hand, only awaiting the embrace.
