Awakening

 

All night, the Water lily bud was closed but early in the morning it began to awake up, greeting a dragonfly.  The flower was like a smile, gradually widening.  

That quiet early morning the Water lily was a solitary triumph, a silent explosion of beauty, newly awake and utterly glorious on the shimmering surface of the little pond.

I found this beautiful Water lily at our local Nature center.

Generally, life is good.
