This photo stands out to me for a particular reason: I made it on the morning of my last full day in Australia. That trip was more than a professional venture; it was a two-month walkabout that I'd planned for three years, the last great journey of my 20s. And the morning dew on these white petals, in retrospect, has come to symbolize the end of that. Less than 24 hours later I was in the air, heading home to the U.S.
