Surviving The Storm

Resiliency!  A storm blew through one summer afternoon, obscuring the distant mountains, blowing down trellises and knocking over lawn furniture.  Tree limbs were down across the road.  But as I wandered near the bay, I noticed this stand of flowers.  I have no idea what kind they were...blooming in a patch of weeds, seemingly unscathed, even refreshed, by last nights storm.  Their apparent delicacy was not at all the reality.  Strong, wild and beautiful.  They are my role model.
