Sun Catcher

look into the sun and become a child

Dedicated to my daughter, Verity.

“The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child”

- Ralph Waldo Emerson

The thing I like most about this image is the sun on the very top, at the intersection of the two petals.
