A thought and a picture

It's all part of life

I am a Van Morrison Fan and as I shot this photo 5 years ago in the mountains of Thailand it came a quote of Van Morrison in my mind:

"There is no black-and-white situation. It's all part of life. Highs, lows, middles".

I have a Thai mango growing in a pot in my yard. It's about 2 years old and 3 feet tall.
