Awesome Flowers

The other day at a meal a group of us talked about the way we sort all our photos on our computers. Some use categories; some use years; some use more specific dates. I use specific dates for the most part. But, I loved hearing one person tell us that a category she uses to organize is simply "Awesome." There were some who also used the category "flowers."

And file these in the subcategory "Becoming," as I found the same flower in different phases of its life cycle:

(Belle blanche) 

(Zinnia)

(Another Dahlia or two or three)

And, finally, creatures on flowers:

Let us walk in the holy presence.
