 My father took my daughter and I to The Bok Sanctuary/Tower and although I am not a fan of "flower" pictures the place was so beautiful and peaceful I couldn't help myself.
I fell in love with the place and his quote...."A spot which would reach out in its beauty to the people, and fill their souls with the quiet, the repose, the influence of the beautiful." Edward W. Bok

I love the brownish tones of the pic. Adds depth and texture to the flower. Nice crop too.
