Venus in Bloom

I tend to like things that are a little strange, maybe unexpected, mysterious.  So, I brought  home this beautiful Venus Flytrap.  Several weeks later she bloomed!  I had to celebrate by capturing her glory in a portrait.

On a day when I was feeling that kinetic energy, the kind that makes you want to run away to join a carnival, this piece came together.  Jackie said it was beautiful in an unsettling way.  Exactly.
