The fields looked vast and green. Flat and boring, really. Certainly not home.

But as I looked closer, when I finally let my eyes see past their prejudice, this is what I saw...



death pregnant with hope...



spot of happiness...



spray of tears...



intimate tenderness...



ripe burst of passion.



Thank you for kissing me, mountain dear.

Wow Allison! gorgeous shots of the flowers with lovely quotes. I have many times overlooked the many imperfections that actually make things perfect for me until I stop and look closer with open heart :)
