Every year at the beginning of Summer we get ground cover all through our yard that has tiny purple flowers. I was determined to capture this, but really struggled with it. I spent so much time trying to get it right that I ended up with quite a sunburn. It amazes me how there is such a wide variety of designs in nature. This little flower has tons of fuzzy pieces angled downward toward the bottom petal. Only the bottom petal is pointed, where the other four petals are rounded. Also, the bottom petal has a design on it the closer you get to the center. The whole flower is only about half an inch big. It's amazing that such beauty and detail comes in such tiny packages. But Summer is quickly fading.... and I will miss her.
