Who took that beautiful photo?

The picture of the unfurling plant is by Bogomil Mihaylov, whose work you can see on Unsplash. Bogomil graciously gave permission to edit and use this image, which expresses the belief that when given what we need, we naturally unfurl toward growth and beauty. One of those needs is honest engagement with big questions—so how appropriate that it resembles a question mark.
