For me, there were endless beautiful flowers to take pictures of, but I couldn't keep away from these stunning blossoms, called "Common Vetch", but hardly common when it comes to being beautiful! :) Carolyn Gold Heilbrun (January 13, 1926 – October 9, 2003) was an American academic and prolific feminist author of both important academic studies and popular mystery novels under the pen name of Amanda Cross.
