Someday in the future this infant, if it grows and survives and someone takes the time and effort to dry it, will become a straw flower..preserved and ready to treat our autumn-weary eyes :)

You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being. - Hermes
