A splash of color, in contrast to our grey skies that we’ve had lately. A memory from last summer; a promise for the next summer.

A purple flower to remind us of summer colors

A reminder of life’s cycles

The arctic winter temperatures traveled south earlier and colder than usual this year. While many of us were scrambling to keep safe, warm and dry, our miniature rose breathed a sigh of relief and blossomed nicely.

I came across this “rock” flower while walking on a trail in Chalk Ridge Falls Park, Texas. A couple of the petal stones had been dislodged, so I put them back and left the flower for other hikers to enjoy.
