Obviously I’m in love with flowers. Who would not be?! The see beauty like this renews my soul.

thanks for your ongoing commentary, John. It’s nice to have this reflective moment. Yes, the beauty of the flower is a joy and the close-up macro view really can be a thrill. Often there will be a tiny insect lurking about that escapes the casual glance.
