This Bud



I am not a nature photographer...unless of course it "grabs" me in a profound way. This pregnant bud captivated me in just such a way. The flower in the top left corner hints at what will be but I find the real beauty to be in the tension of this moment of "becoming" for the bud. Simple but profound! Most of our time spent at the botanical gardens did not live up to my expectations. There were many, persistent, children beggars whom I find very difficult to deal with, especially when I am accompanied by my own children. What kind of attitudes am I modeling for my sons? What really is best for these kids?
