This is a straight up picture I 'took'. Unlike most of my stuff this isn't added to in any way.

What makes it special to me is the happenstance. The stonework is the original wall around St. Augustine, FL. It is the oldest continually occupied city in the United states. It was established in 1565 and this stonework is the original wall that surrounded the city, one side of the main gate. At curfew the gate closed and if you weren't in the gate ya' got to sleep outside. This little hole was the only way to communicate through the wall once the town locked down. Who left the flower and why they had a single bloom I don't know, nor do I know why they chose to leave it here. Why I was graced with the opportunity to find it with the lighting so right I also don't know. But they did, I was and this is the result.
