Joy

"People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us."
~Iris Murdoch~

This reminds me of Jesus words... "If that is how God clothes the lily's of the field which are here today and tomorrow are thrown into the fire, how much more will he cloth you oh you of little faith".

Thanks so much for commenting on my photo of the iris. I went to find a quote about an iris, and instead found one by a woman named Iris, but it worked just as well.

Love love love. The background is awesome, and I'm always a sucker for backlighting anyway. Very nice.
