I am constantly surprised at the amazing sights I find on our property, and this is one of them, which I was delighted to find this morning! This is a top-down view of a flower called a "Blow-Wife", and the orange bits around the outside are its blossom petals. The odd inner parts are tightly closed "parachutes" of the seeds. When this flower is pollinated and the seeds inside form, the sepals will fold back and an enormous seed ball of glimmering silver "snowflakes" will be exposed. It's amazing to see. For more pictures showing the "snowflakes", click on the side view image below! John Harrigan is a British film director, producer, screenwriter, actor and occultist.

Last night we had a thunder storm, followed by much-needed rain. I slept with the window open, drinking in the wonderful fragrance of wet earth and plants! This morning I went out and took pictures of droplets clinging to everything, and then I remembered the wild cucumber flowers! These are so beautiful and at a macro level, the smooth petals reveal themselves to be quite fuzzy! I wanted to see what a blossom would look like with raindrops on it, and I was not disappointed! The fuzzy surface you see here is covered with tiny droplets of water and creates a wonderful texture! Below is a picture of a dry blossom so you can see the fuzzy surface! :) Eckhart Tolle (born Ulrich Leonard Tolle on February 16, 1948) is a German citizen and resident of Canada, best known as the author of the The Power of Now and A New Earth, which were published originally in English. In 2011, he was listed by the Watkins Review as the most spiritually influential person in the world. In 2008, a New York Times writer called Tolle "the most popular spiritual author in the United States." Wikipedia: Eckhart Tolle
