 This is pretty much straight from the camera. It was a completely impromptu snap, but I've fallen in love with this picture.

The title is borrowed from William Blake:

“To see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palms of your hand and eternity in an hour.” - Auguries of Innocence, by William Blake

These are beautiful reds on this strange flower. That little purple flame with the touch of green under the water is the best part for me, though.

I love the concept but can't help but feel the picture is zoomed it a bit too much.

Still, a great shot,
