Little Rose

I think about being outside and nature pretty much all of the time..

Especially when we are in the full blown transition of seasons..

Sometimes my journey takes me just outside my front door, sometimes out into our woods, and thankfully sometimes the journey takes me deep into the woods and along a lovely creek...

When I was in college these flowers among many other small flowers stole my heart.

They never give a great show.

They are humble little plants. They

hide are under the bigger more showy plants in the shade.

And yet, every year just like they did so many years ago when they finally burst with these little pink blooms they stop me and invite me to bend down each day and enjoy them for the very short time they bloom.
