There is a saying in New Hampshire, (and probably throughout New England) that goes like this "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes."

So true.

Likewise, beautiful flowers, such as this one bloom and fall so quickly that sometimes we miss their splendor. Perhaps that is one reason we like to photograph them so much. To preserve their fleeting beauty. For we know in a blink of an eye, the leaves will be falling followed by the snows and then the rains...But then Spring will bloom once more.
