There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is a society, where none intrudes,
By the deep Sea, and music in its roar,
I love not man less, but Nature more
--Lord Byron
Beautiful little Periwinkle Pierre! I find it amazing that it is blooming already. I like the contrast with the snow and the water makes me think that the snow is melting and spring has finally arrived:-)
"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts." Bertrand Russell
This is a wonderful capture and a testimony to the determination of nature and how it will always find a way to over come diversity. You did a great job in showing that.
