All things are made more special because of their impermanence. C.S. Lewis in “Surprised by Joy” (the video was called Shadow Lands) said that it is because we know that love is not lasting that makes it precious in the moment.

Here is a fine example from Nature of the impermanence of all things, sadly, including our Valentines, both human and beast.

In reply to Anna Hanchett. thank you, Anna. they are immensely fragile also. I often have to destroy 10 to photograph 1. And that's the advantage of photographing a crystal...

There are many benefits to cold when assessed in weeks and months, but these ephemeral winter beauties, cremated by that which brings us animals welcome warmth, too often end their awesome lives unnoticed. Thank you, Pleun, for focusing our attention on their flowering.
