Unfolding

“How does the meadow-flower its bloom
unfold?
Because the lovely little flower is free
Down to its root, and in that freedom
bold.”

~ William Wordsworth

These are the most beautious meadow flowers! Sometimes I am amazed at how beautiful they are as they unfold before our eyes,, and then there is the beauty to behold.. and its all in silence.
Your meadow flowers are so beautiful.

Your blog has such a beautiful and calming effect on me. We were stationed at RAF Chicksands in Beds in the late 70's. It's like a trip back. Toni in TN
