Quotes of the day
I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conlusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleages, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives. ~ Leo Tolstoy

The Dutchman's pipe cactus (Epiphyllum oxypetalum), also known as princess of the night or queen of the night, is a species of cactus with a native range from Mexico to Nicaragua. It blooms at night, and its flowers wilt before dawn. I tried to photograph the flowers for several nights, till eventually I managed. Looking at the flower, I couldn’t help thinking how transient and ephemeral is physical beauty.
