Look around you :-)

Almost every working day, for over 10 years, I have walked past a small flower bed between the car park and the entrance to my office building. If I arrive for work early, before the Sun warms the soil, I see that the flowers are closed tightly. Later in the day they open, and smile broadly for anyone who takes the time to appreciate their beauty.

 

A few weeks ago I finally stopped to snap a few photos of these purple and gold gems which have charmed me for so many years. If you stop and look around you, I'm sure you will see plenty of under-appreciated beauty, too!
