You might not feel like the top of a tree would be the safest or most relaxing spot, but for a lemur baby resting in his mother’s lap, nothing could be more secure or comfortable.

Before long this profusion of luscious blossoms will be only a tattered scattering of petals on the table. All the more reason to treasure their beauty for the moment it remains.
What do you cherish only for a brief moment?
You might always get the same favorite flavor of ice cream or coffee drink, but a handful of jelly beans brings you a random assortment of flavors and colors. No doubt you will prefer some tastes to others, but there’s always a chance you’ll hit upon a new favorite that you’ve never encountered before.
