I set out to take manual only photos yesterday. A step in my growth as a photo hobbyist. this shot caught my attention. Growth as a motion mostly is unseen, but the struggle behind it erupts in this Magnolia bud fighting to unfurl itself.
Whether life or beauty – it takes a struggle.
Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. James 1:4
the Ordinary Hiker 
Lovely. Some things are growing so fast that it feels that if I stood there recording with my camera, I’d actually see growth happen.

So true. Each day’s ritual commands a walk around to see what growth has happened. It all happens so fast in the spring.
Nice image and matching Bible verse.
