We are told that people stay in love because of chemistry, or because they remain intrigued with each other, because of many kindnesses, because of luck. But part of it has got to be forgiveness and gratefulness.
― Ellen Goodman

Below is the original photo used to create this image. It turns out you don’t have to make a special trip to a botanical garden to see lovely flowers, just go to your local Home Depot. There were so many lovelies, it was hard to focus in on just a few blooms, so you’ll probably see more of these in future posts. No special lighting or retouching, just a snap from my smart phone.
