Today's Moment of Awe occurred, as so many have, near the Grotto of the Virgin at Gonzaga University. I like to take a few quiet minutes there every day to enjoy the sun, the sound of the water feature, and to sometimes light a candle or say a prayer.
Today, the grass looked like a million tiny flowers had sprouted up through the stems. The flowers are so tiny and delicate, in a gorgeous white and fuchsia color. They remind me of an exotic flower like a hibiscus. They smell lovely as well- a faint and whispery smell. The flowers are actually from the trees above, but there are so many of them it seems impossible they didn't sprout up from the ground. Looking around, the dirt of the gardens around the trees is so heavily coated in these flowers that it looks like bark or mulch in the photographs.
