Perception

“What you see and what you hear depends a great deal on where you are standing. It also depends on what sort of person you are.” -C.S. Lewis, The Magician's Nephew

It's fascinating how people can see the same object/scene or hear the same words and perceive completely different things.
My brother and I grew up in the same house and have completely different memories- for instance, he recalls having to eat pancakes for dinner because we had nothing else to eat and I recall how fun it was to have pancakes for dinner.
So...when you look at this photo, do you see a flower struggling in the hot, dry summer or do you see a flower celebrating the season?

(FYI-this is a Sandy Yellow Coneflower.)
