Down, but Not Out

In this picture you see a branch of the tree in my back yard in full bloom.  About a month ago, during a really high wind, the tree let this branch go.  Over the days after, it drooped lower and lower... not enough water to the tree I think.  Last week it was completely green, just the like the rest of the tree.  This morning I see that it is in full bloom, as if it had not fallen out at all.  It is holding on and continuing, as if it is still part of the whole.  It has not given up.  It continues to be optimistic.  The song birds and hummingbirds still love it.  I am inspired by the tenacity of nature.
