Darkness
“The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them – words shrink things that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than the living size then they’re brought out. But it’s more than that, isn’t it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you’ve said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while you were saying it. That’s the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding ear.”
– Stephen King
“Darkness is the place for seeking and finding answers, for accepting healings, and for accessing the hidden light of truth.”
- Black Panther

Clovers
It’s an interesting read at Wikipedia about the different species of clovers and shamrocks. I’ve no idea which ones these are but they are in our garden.
Star Cluster
This flower was very striking in the garden. Its the size of my thumbnail but very demanding of its presence. Again, I don’t know the name of it. But for sure, someone will tell me ;)
Blue Hydrangea
Arabian Jasmine & Fiery Skipper Butterfly
This is definitely an Arabian Jasmine. But what kind of moth is this? Does anyone know? And this is definitely a Fiery Skipper Butterfly (thanks Amy!)

Night Blooming Cereus
She is also known as Queen of the Night for that is only when she blooms. She opens up her petals to dark sky capturing the brilliant stare of the Moon and the Stars. Before the Sun rises, her petals fall into morning air.
