Black Flower, Black Night by Anna Wilding

I became transfixed with this flower when I came across it. Black as night , I was mesmerized. I gazed into it's heart, peering through and past it's layers. It's wisdom reflected in it's depth I was always afraid of the dark. Gazing into this plants beauty reminded me of the beauty of the night. May you find peace is this heady diamond bloom.

Nature is inspiring and so to its myriad of colors. I am constantly stopping to smell the roses. Though I am known for my photography of people ,nature captures my soul and takes my breath away.Like an act of kindness when someone does something magnificent.

This plant is a succulent and the plentiful nourishment of rain in an arid landscape seemed a fitting juxtaposition.
