Hiding..........

I found a beautiful tiny bloom today.  It was under the thicket of Eleagnus bushes.  The wind was blowing, every now and then I caught a glimpse of red.   The girls ran under the branches after a lizard and I saw this flower.  It is so delicate and small, with tiny stamens waffing in the air.   Now that I know they are there, I will go back and look until I can get a better picture.  This one doesn't do it justice.
     Eleagnus is a shrub, used for landscaping and bonsai.  I don't have one because they tend to grow rather large.  But they are beautiful.  The underside of the leaf is a distinctive silver, while the top side is a medium green.
