September 21st was International Day of Peace - strange enough, I took this picture precisely that day without knowing about tat special day. I guess a wide variety of occasions would have fitted this image.

A nice macro shot. Normally, I'm not too big on the titles, but I feel the title is part of the challenge in this case. For peace, I would like to see a calming background. The background here, while blurred, is a little too busy for a peaceful feeling.
