Buds

If you've never been thrilled to the very edges of your soul by a flower in spring bloom, maybe your soul has never been in bloom.

-Terri Guillemets

This quote perfectly explains why I have to take pictures of flowers.  You may get tired of looking at petal after petal, but for me, they represent one of the most delicate, miraculous, and necessary products of nature.  Aside from their beauty, consider how many species of butterfly, bee and bird rely on them for nourishment.  In turn, the plants are provided flight.
