Seeing 2013 (#27)

For your consideration:  an emphatic display of the potent energy infusing the miracle of organic life, an immense, relentless force ever striving for pure growth and affirming expansion . . . all the while adorned with a sublime complexity and delicate detail which remains virtually invisible at first, casual glance.

Thus this macro study:  a chance, dear reader, to pause and ponder the myriad wonders and beauty of our everyday surroundings — too often subsumed by our preoccupation with the "bigger picture" of modern society's demand for accomplishment, for the next quick fix, the latest technological marvel, and (especially) the ever quicker instant social media meme . . . 

And yet for our all our perceived, self-congratulatory "advancements" . . . well, as a now (virtually forgotten) mega-artist one crowed, you can't touch this:
