Flowers (macro photography)

"Wings of Glory"

July 2012, Stevenson Ranch, California

While hiking in the mountains near my home, I came across this tiny set of flowers growing only about an inch off of the ground. The flowers are called wild heliotrope, and the entire set from left to right is barely one inch wide. At first glance the flower looked like nothing to me, but when I began to closely inspect it I was astounded at the beauty hidden in this little guy. God's creative power never ceases to amaze me.
