Wildflowers & A Broken Vase
All alone walking down the street, heading towards my home, I glanced over my shoulder to have a look at the enchanting flower shop around the corner. I never had the time to visit inside because I always have a lot on my plate, so I always stand outside this shop for a couple minutes and admire the beauty of these flowers.
