Happy Valentines Day! by TwoPynts

"Happiness is not a tended rose Amid the prescient beauty of a garden: Perhaps one senses soon some gate may close; Perhaps one senses soon the earth will harden. Years come and go like waves upon a shore, Violent or peaceful with the wind. After one has given up on more, Love waits within the heart, its passion thinned. Even in a passage void of light, Nether windings black with rage and grief, There are waters sweet with lost delight In which one finds a strong, serene belief. No happiness can overcome life's pain Except one love, and love give life again." ~ Nicholas Gordon
What struck me about this photo is the way the folds in the petals of this Morning Glory form the shape of a star. I could not resist posting another image today with which to wish everyone here at Renderosity a very Happy Valentines Day! Most importantly, I would like to send out a special wish my wife Lisa, my eternal Valentine, for a day and future filled with love and sharing.

Call it a morning glory if you will, but there's no mistaking this particular shot as an unusual spacecraft -- probably ETs -- entering the earth's atmosphere at a meteoric rate of speed. Hopefully the heat shield will survive the plunge to earth. Other than that, superb color, lighting, sense of motion, and imagery!
