Exotic blue rose



Incense burns at the altar--




Sacred mystery.

  15. A Tender and beautiful spring bouquet. The burning of incense that resonates deeply in the hearts of the faithful. And finally the innocence and fidelity of the heart of a young girl as she makes her humble May offering to the Madonna. Lovely images and haiku Margaret.
