2012, Day 109 - Close

There is an elegant to a single perfect flower, in isolation there are no distractions and one can appreciate its graceful form.  Conversely when flowers are densely clustered details are obscured but they convey a feeling of bounty.  Beauty in quantity is a spectacle so when it happens we should take a moment to appreciate our good fortune.  In between rain showers this afternoon I was treated to such good fortune and the rest of the day has seemed so much better for it.
