Special Selection: "Flowers Blooming in the Shadows"

Winner of the Manazashi Photo Club 2nd Term Photo Contest "Hikari"
A single flower blooming in the shadow.

My daughter gives it plenty of water.

A flower blooming quietly in a dark place
Apparently my daughter thought it looked bright and shiny.

Because there is shadow, there is light
Because there is light, there is shadow.

Only the bright spots
It looks sparkly but

Even the dark places have meaning.

Even in dark places
If you can look at it with love
Your heart will surely become richer.

Yes, it all depends on how you look at things.

The path you will walk from now on
I'm sure it's not all fun and games,
In times of hardship, it is important to show the light you have
If you pour it, something will start to shine.

Deciding what the path of life is
The environment and people around you
Not fate or God
Your heart.

Comment from Advisor

How to keep an eye on your child's behavior and pay attention to it. How to cherish and love your child's perspective and feelings. I felt such love from this photo. The presence of such a child is like a light inside the mother, and I was very moved by this photo.
