"Everything is blooming most recklessly." - Rainer Maria Rilke
Trillium
May 6, 2015 {126/365} Trillium
"The Amen of nature is always a flower." - Oliver Wendell Holmes

Yet, like faith, the trillium is fragile and requires careful consideration. It must be protected from forces that endanger its roots, but when nurtured, its incomparable beauty thrives.
