exotique! So if I live another 40 years, I'll get to see this happen 40 more times. That is why I take photographs, to enjoy them all year long. Can you image what it was like before photography was invented. I bet people looked at the single, rare, short lived blossom for hours each spring, trying to remember it and savor it, knowing that it will be gone for another long year. What a mingling of sweetness and sorrow.
