From the Cook Memorial Rose Garden in Libertyville IL. The title is self explanatory but note there is beauty in all stages. All comments and critiques appreciated.
My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
First of all, Kathy, I didn't save your PM about the border. This one is even better than the last one. Where's you say you got this software?
Perfect title. Lovely shot. Still wish you'd expand your horizons beyond the flowers. If I can post an occasional flower, you can post a landscape. Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, landscape for a flower. Makes perfect sense to me unless I'm off my medications.
I don't agree with your conjecture that, "there is beauty in all stages.". It reminds me too much of that horrible song, Everything is Beautiful in Its Own Way. That monstrosity came out during the Vietnam War
Some people have Gurus, I have my camera. Through the cam lenses I have learnt to deeply perceive life, not only to see, but to look at all expressions of nature, becoming able to read the poetry of the flowers, receiving the embrace of the trees and flying above the clouds without wings! - Susie Sun
