I’ve been admiring a proliferation of Queen Anne’s Lace along the roads near my home in Louisiana.

Today I stopped to get a closer look and was surprised to find this particular flower, not quite open, tinged with pink…..

…..with a deep purple center.

Legend has it that Queen Anne was tatting when she pricked her finger and a drop of blood fell on the white lace.

Surprises don’t have to be monumental.  Often it’s the small ones that bring the most delight.
