July 1, 2013 Photo of the day: "Tiny Treasures"

During this afternoon's stroll through the garden,

I noticed that the white balloon flowers

underneath our redbud tree were blooming.

I knelt down for a closer look and a few pictures

when a unique shade of blue caught my eye:

The beautiful hue of Tiffany boxes and robins' eggs!

On this very windy day,

those delicate petals and tiny egg shells

were quite difficult to capture.

Sometimes the most beautiful moments require

focus, patience, and a gentle touch.
