purple-petaled flower

I think there's a good metaphor here for standing out or being yourself. There's a short window when all the huge fields of flowers bloom in the Willamette Valley in Oregon. I drove past a big field of these gold-orange flowers and noticed random specks of purple. I pulled over and saw this magnificent violet-colored flower sticking out in this row of the gold-orange flowers. I cropped this so it can scale down to a standard widescreen desktop background.
