When I first read the topic at “Sticky Fingers” blog I immediately began pondering what I could take a photo of, or if I already had a photo that fitted the bill and then it occurred to me: I’m thinking too deeply about this.
Earlier this week, after the snow had melted, on the first real spring day we have had, I went outside to let Henrietta (the Guinea Pig) have a run round and a munch on the new spring grass. While she was entertaining herself I did some gardening, mostly removing dead leaves, etc from everywhere and underneath a huge pile of wet, brown, slimy leaves I found a single snowdrop. I ran inside to grab my phone and snap a photo (having no idea where I had put my camera!) and this is the photo that I have chosen. To me it is truly beautiful, it is not only a photo of a very pretty flower, it is also proof that you can find something stunning under a large amount of rubbish, and that something so fragile can still grow underneath, and eventually poke through the crap.
I think it no doubt spoke to me even more because of the situation I am in at the moment and the things I am going through, it gave me hope that no matter how much junk piles on top of me, or us, we can still come through because what we have is truly beautiful.
