I feel I stand in a desert with my hands outstretched, and you are raining down upon me.
― Patricia Highsmith, The Price of Salt
Below is the original photo used to create this image. This was taken at a scenic view and hiking trail outside of Sedona, AZ during a recent vacation. I was surprised and delighted to find this patch of royal-purple irises. No special lighting or retouching, just a snap from my smart phone.
