Some of you may remember the old Doris Day tune 'Que sera, sera,' from Alfred Hitchcock's 1956 film The Man Who Knew Too Much. In English the singer wonders if she'll be pretty or rich, but her mother tells her, 'whatever will be, will be.' I was reminded of the song by this flowerbud, which actually doesn't even need to ask its 'mother' what it will be, since it will turn out just as pretty as she is!Tuesday, May 18, 2010

My son likes the song (and has downloaded it) and said knowingly "Doris Day was a good singer".
Like mother, like daughter.
What can I say? Simply gorgeous. Subtle color, perfect DOF and inventive composition.
I've always loved that song. it just seems to make life simpler. It's like "no worries, be happy." Beautiful flower, and the bud will be too.
I thought of that song as soon as I read your title!
Love this flower and bud. They do look like mother and child. Very creative of you to imagine that Bibi.
"Que sera, sera
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que sera, sera
What will be, will be"...

A beautiful and poetic post.
Superb depth of field on this one .. and the mama is so lovely ..
Reminds me of a mom and a baby. Hmmm. Great for a mothers day card.
Hmmmm. I hate to tell you but I do remember that song. I love the way you tell a story via photo. You do it so well and a lovely photo too.
Clever link to the song -:)

Thank you for the reminder!
