Morning Beauties

“Every morning my pretty Hibiscus greets me offering a new regal flower unfurling. Almost every day the flower is of a sheer fuchsia colour. Once in a while, a flower blooms in a delicate shade of yellow.

Taking a closer look at this flower, I noticed a visitor quietly sitting in it and embracing it wholy. The long and thin legs touched the petals delicately and remained motionless when I approached. The morning sun rays revealed a Daddy-long-legs comfortably stationed.

The breeze made the flower quiver. The light played through the yellow petals; it was warm an inviting. The cosy spot made this delicate visitor remain long, adding its beauty to the morning greeting”
