I asked the earth, I asked the sea and the deeps, among the living animals, the things that creep. I asked the winds that blow, I asked the heavens, the sun, the moon, the stars and all things that stand at the doors of my flesh…
My question was the gaze I turned to them.
Their answer was their beauty.
St Augustine of Hippo (354 – 430)
As beautiful as the flower.
The flower is very beautiful, you should have seen the light shining through it on the day
Gorgeous color mix! the brown towards the red, the structure – nice!!
Thank you
Nice macro, Cherie!
Thanks Jams
Beautiful, I am loving seeing the flowers emerging again. New life
It is such a wonderful time of year
I am even enjoying the rain, despite it deciding to downpour just as I am ready to leave the office!! It brings out the colours of nature and makes me smile 
Captivating camelia.
I see you are very fond of this flower.
The lighting on the day was sublime
The photos don’t do it justice 
I asked the earth, I asked the sea
They answered d’you think we’d let on to thee?
Their answers can be found whispering in the wind.
Listen… Can you hear them?
