Flowers Must Die part V

(1/125, F6.3, ISO200, 39mm)

For this moment the last in the Flowers Must Die-series, but I´m pretty sure I´ll find more flowers dying and being obstructed by human structures (pavements, asphalt etc.) from giving their last breath back to the soil…

  Thanks for your enthousiasm, Maria, as long as there are flowers dying and human structures to emphasize the differences between both I´ll be on the lookout 😉

  Thank you so much, Patti, I thought the mirror/glass added a bit too this one, so chose to put it up in the series cuz of its difference with the others!!
  Thank you also for always taking such a good look at them and your enthousiastic comments
  Have a great weekend, Ron.

Oh that’s lovely. Great contrast of human made and nature, and hard and sharp and long lasting with soft and ephemeral.
And I’ve never seen a solidly pink frangipani like that before, only one with pink bits.

  Oh Ashley, thats perfectly said, exactly my feeling behind this idea, our human intervention in the natural world and the opposites of human and natural creation! Oh, you have most trees with this color or the ones you mention, in my neighbourhood its about 50-50 i would say, will come up later today with a pink bits one 😉
  Greetings, Ron.
