I remember 10 years ago taking this shot. I was struck by the contrast between the hot lifeless sand and these tiny flowers reaching for the sun. Taken at Trout Creek Park November 2005.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

The flowers stand out so beautifully against the drab colour of sand. Nice capture!

This turned out so nice, I like the placement of the flowers, and the contrast against the sand, what a great find this was. tigs =^..^=

Alex, when I saw your capture, THIS SONG came into my mind.

Good example again that nature is very strong. Even in barren conditions it will survive!

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
