A man in a moment in nature can perceive amazing things if he opens himself.

The mountain storksbill sheds its petals within an hour of flowering for reasons known only to itself.
Whatever the ecology, we are fortunate and the hillside is being blessed with this selfless offering.
For those that can hear, there is the faintest of sounds as this floral confetti gently kisses the earth.
