A moonflower brings joy and happiness!
It fills me with awe and gratitude as I watch it unfold.
It lifts me up in faith and optimism
to see something so beautiful.
My purpose, to share this beauty with others.
I feel compassion
and empathy for its short life
as it folds up
dying in the morning light.
Those feelings are why I love photography.
Feelings to be revisited.
"How near at hand it was,
if they had eyes to see it."

All stunning photos, Mary. You have really captured the beauty of this astonishing flower which seems to do a graceful dance as it opens!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandra! I finally got this one off my list of blogs. And I do love looking at these photos again and again.
