Graceful Change - Non-climbing Clematis, Missoula, Montana

 “All human nature vigorously resists grace because grace changes us and change is painful.” -Flannery O’Connor (1925-1964), from The Habit of Being: Letters of Flannery O'Connor

Blue Wildflower, Polson, Montana

Flower closeups always leave me amazed at the intricate details of craftsmanship - the perfect little culicues, the fringed edges of each petal.
When you stop to smell the roses, don't forget to also treat yourself to unexpected visuals.
