This image was taken the week before last. I am a bit suspicious of this one because the pleasure I get from looking at it is very uncomplicated. I have to remind myself that it is OK to make images that are simply beautiful every now and again.
I run into that with my own work, sometimes worrying that an image is "too" beautiful, which might tip it into sentimentality. But you have managed to make beauty with depth--this image to me feels like a Zen koan. The pleasure in looking at it is uncomplicated, yet reveals something more profound than just surface beauty.
