139/365: “Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves." ~ James Matthew Barrie

A couple of days ago I noticed that one of my favorite clover species was in full bloom next to our shop, so this morning I marched over without taking more than half a dozen pictures on the way! I was determined because I love these flowers and hoped to get some nice images to share! Happily, there is a very steep hill where the clover was growing so I could get some very low angles without flattening myself on the ground! Instead, I sprawled on the hill and tried not to blind myself as I got the sun behind the flowers. As I was taking pictures, I found a sprig of grass in the way of my lens and it turned into a lovely subject as well!

Sir James Matthew Barrie (9 May 1860 – 19 June 1937) was a Scottish author and dramatist, best remembered today as the creator of Peter Pan. The child of a family of small-town weavers, he was educated in Scotland. He moved to London, where he developed a career as a novelist and playwright. There he met the Llewelyn Davies boys who inspired him in writing about a baby boy who has magical adventures in Kensington Gardens (included in The Little White Bird), then to write Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up, a "fairy play" about this ageless boy and an ordinary girl named Wendy who have adventures in the fantasy setting of Neverland. This play quickly overshadowed his previous work and although he continued to write successfully, it became his best-known work, credited with popularising the name Wendy, which was very uncommon previously. Barrie unofficially adopted the Davies boys following the deaths of their parents. Wikipedia: J. M. Barrie
