Purple flowers, Presbyterian Ministry at the United Nations

IMG_2165

They appeared.I don’t want to try to say when.
I noticed them today.
I know not the source.
In time, they will fade and disappear.
For now,
their beauty graces the office,
and I give thanks.

Announcing Purple Flowers Guest Collection

Ghost Ranch July 30, 2008Exciting news for those who follow my posts of purple flowers.

To date, with one exception, I have taken all the photos. Peng Leong sent one photo, posted in September of 2012.

Today, Ryan Smith sent another photo. It will go live later tonight.

The photo’s arrival inspired me to a new section: the Purple Flowers Guest Collection.

Want to take part? It may not make you famous, but it could be fun.

If you want to participate, email me your photo with your name, the date of the photo, and where you took the photo. Photos from third parties won’t be accepted.

See you along the Trail.

The photo is from Ghost Ranch on 30 July 2008 and was the photo posted on the day the purple flowers series launched.
