These yucca and daylily flowers have such a fragile beauty, lit by the low, soft light of the early evening sun. Looking at them, you would not believe that in the past few days they have been through days of intense heat, followed by torrential rains. Those rains caused flash floods and terrible destruction, washing out roads and a bridge. Yet, here they stand. They obviously have a strength that belies their apparent fragility. I hope that we all find the inner strength to withstand the storms we encounter and still remain standing, or, at worst, stand back up, with the help of our friends and those who love us.

I hope you enjoy the new colour scheme I have for my new start. I forgot to mention it in the last post.
