I found this single unknown bud beside a track and visited every day.
Day One.


Day Two.


Day Three.



Day Four.


It’s wonderous mystery slowly revealed itself, but it took patience…

Stacked Jpeg and RAW files edited in DxO Photolab 6, then final level adjustments and cropping in Adobe CS6 (last non-subscription).
Life in its details π±Beautiful. π

I wonder if the bud felt your presence? Did it partly bloom just for you, because you loved it enough to stop and be present in its wonder? And then you loved it enough again to share it with us. *love*

It was an amazing experience to visit it every day and watch it unfurl. At first I thought it was another Greenhood – but, you too will find out very soon π
