The way the sunlight pierced through the blossoms of this azalea just outside my window was so striking that I wanted to capture it. But I was afraid the window screen would detract from the beauty. Instead, I love how the screen gives the photo a needlepoint appearance! It reminds me of the floral needlepoint and cross-stitch pillows that lovingly graced the sofas and the armchairs of my grandma’s and my adopted grandma’s living rooms.
