Even 'm not a flower person. But this one caught me eye 'coz this was the only flower that I could spot at that point of time. That's, usually, a trekkers path, and, who knows the others would have just perished by the trampling of insensitive trekkers.

I saw this on your photo page once before and felt an easily explained affinity. These 'morning glories' grow on the fence lines in the midwest (US) and easily here in Florida. Although not usually a flower person, I have always loved thier indominibility and grace. As nature is a force greater than what we can comprehend, it must by necessity put our petty differences into perspective. The reasoning for our suffering? Is it for a reward in the afterlife? Simply unavoidable? Got me. Perhaps it is just so that we have something that defines our moments of peace, or happiness.

You are right, the flower is a bit blurred. I took this pic with a Canon A520 point and shoot camera, which obviously has limited focusing capabilities. I wanted to capture both the flower and the background sharp! When I clicked, I didn't notice that the flower got slightly blurred since the camera has a small LCD screen.

The flower is very slightly blurred, but all in all, an amazing angle. I really love the color composition in the pic. I can get a feel of how nice it looks early in the morning, and to spot a bright colored flower along the monotonous trekking path! Good one
