The flowers bloomed, covering the vast field in a brilliant purple hue.
The flowers did not care whether the humans were around to admire them.
Unlike humans, Nature did not worry about Instagram and the number of likes that a captured moment would garner!
This post was written in response to the Three Line Tales, Week 235 prompt by Sonya. Thanks to Sonya for hosting this challenge. If you want to participate, please visit the link for instructions and other guidelines!
For visually challenged readers, the image shows a field of purple flowers. The field is surrounded by tall trees and we can see the sun above the tree-tops. The photo is slightly blurred at spots due to the sun’s rays.
Stay safe, everyone.
