2012, Day 225 - Floral hedgehog

Vibrant colors and simplicity can be refreshing.  Life is so full of stimuli, the sounds of cars, people jabbering, dogs barking, bicycles whizzing past, vehicle flying by, the smells of exhaust, of dust, asphalt, it is a dizzying array that often breaks out concentration.  Sensory overload gets the better of us and we miss so much but their absence itself is not noteworthy to most of us.  Stop and allow yourself a moment to smell the flowers and enjoy life's little pleasures.
