March 25: Beautiful Carpet


Here is one of my favorite displays of nature. Sure the flowers on the tree are wonderful as they emerge. But something about seeing them rain to the ground over a few days, hold their color, and then disappear into the grass (and to my floors indoors by sticking on soles) there petals just seem so artistic and somehow hopeful. The thought the 2nd life of each individual petal is as nice as the flowers they make in groups in their 1st life seems interesting.
