pink is wild...

...wild is pink

if you're going to do pink - go all the way! no turning back - be bold - be strong - be wild...

and these little gems are wild - growing in what i call the nothingness before heading up the ridge behind my house - they're kind of stuck outside the "very little green" - and the cactus - a total surprise you'd even find any color at all, let alone flowers of any sort... yet there they were - in their shocking glory - seeds, perhaps, blown in on the wind - or brought by birds flying overhead and dropped - then surviving in this nothingness area...

for those of us - who wander and traipse - looking for opportunities - it's one of those simple moments - a time to be gleeful - grateful - to remember that even in the harshest of conditions - beautiful things can flourish - surround you and yes, you can hear it coming, can't you? probably even can say it with me by now - go ahead, join me - it'll make for...

a

happy day.....

p.s. don't you feel better for having said it with me? i'm grinning...
