Flowers – Life on the Wicked Stage: Act 3

Sometimes Nature Stares Back At You

Sometimes Mother Nature stares back at you with a face of her own.

A detailed close-up shot of a single pansy flower, centered within a bed of its own green leaves. The flower has two large deep-purple upper petals, while the lower central petal features a vibrant yellow patch with a dark violet or maroon mask pattern that has radiating lines. A white, slightly textured brick wall is in the background.

Best not to look away.
