A Flower Just for You

Dear Readers,  
I'd like to give you a flower.  Actually, I'd like to give you a whole armload of them.  I am kind of obsessed with their beauty.  When I was a kid, I worked for years in a commercial flower garden.  I pulled weeds, and dug rain trenches and battled horseflies...it was hard and sweaty work.  But every time it rained, it was my job and incredible privilege to take off my shoes, and walk barefoot through the puddles of the soggy flower farm, gently shaking the raindrops off of the petals.  When the sun comes out after a rain, the sun's rays magnify through any droplets of water on the blossoms, and cause small burn spots.  No one wanted that!  So, I actually was paid to be the Rain Drops Shaken Off the Petals Girl.  What a glorious job.  Every person in the universe should have a task like that, at least once in his or her life.   
I may possibly have twenty years' worth of my flower photography hobby archived on my computer.  In honor of that, and my intense love of flowers, I will give you a bloom every Sunday...
Collect them.  Enjoy them!  They are just for you.
