Unexpected Beauty


I'm a fan of this photo. A couple summers ago I spotted this flower growing through the chain link fence between our two back yards. I like the contrast between the beautiful flower and the hardness of the chain link, it seems kind of like a miniature representation of the contrast between nature and industrial cities. It's one of those suprising moments of beauty. I like it when nature suprises you. It kind of sneaks up and suddenly announces itself. "Hey, I'm here, look at me! I'm pretty!" I don't know why, but it always makes me smile.
