April 22, 2016 8:05pm If you are familiar with Greek mythology, you will know of Daphne, a naiad, daughter of the river god Ladon. When relentlessly pursued by the god Apollo, she begs her father to help her and she is turned into a laurel tree.
This photo reminds me of the Bernini statue, capturing Daphne in those first moments of being transformed into that tree.
