I thought this was a solitary, misshapen geranium popping up in a bed of succulents. I thought bravo, good for you, snapped the picture and was on my way. But now that I take time to look more carefully I’m not so sure. Maybe I was responding to the color, though it’s rather bright for a geranium. Maybe it was a succulent in bloom. I’m confused now, but still surprised by it’s suddenness, it’s isolation. Where was I when I took this picture? That’s another question. It looks so familiar, and yet… I'm in my thoughts one moment and the next I'm staring at a flower.
