That's the way they are, Bob,and much as I'd like to say something, I can't!
Artsy, yes, but this is reality!

Hello Bob,
I can now see why you had a job writing for the Sun years ago. You can find a story in almost anything, anywhere, and make it interesting to others.
Your right on the money about the way most people tend to think and act. I'm glad that there are some like you, who can still see beauty in a crumpled flower on the pavement.
Thanks for reminding us what true beauty really is!!

This looks surrealistic to me, Bob -- an Oxeye Daisy sprouting out of concrete!
In short, it is a work of art and combined with your musings in the note, it impels my mind and soul to "see" beyond the ponderables.
Thanks for sharing this really powerful image.

Hello Bob!

Very arty shot indeed. I like contrast between beautifull flower and concrete street.

Hello Bob,
Touching this little Daisy on the street..it was there waiting for your eye to catcht its presence..And you made also a paintinglike picture, something other than just a reproduction of reality. I like it a lot.
Best regards

Bonjour monsieur Bob, j'adore la photo et l'arrière plan, très particulier, l'asphalte un peu transformée par les pixels, c'est très beau. Je suis poussée à regarder cette photo encore et encore, la texture surtout de l'arrière plan et la belle fleur un peu fanée, chacun de ses pétales avec quelques marques du temps. Comme vous savez, j'aime beaucoup voir le passage du temps sur les choses de ce monde, le wasa-quelque-chose japonais dont nous avons déjà discuté. Cependant, j'aurais aimé tourner la photo de sens, je voudrais la voir autrement, upside down. Merci aussi pour les belles notes et bonne fin de dimanche mon ami!

Francine

Fascinating composition. Beautifully done. It's almost sad though. Funny that some people think the Oxeye is invasive and I try to grow them down here. ha ha

Hello Bob,
There have been times when I'd like to show the world all the dreadful things man does to spoil the natural environment. But it doesn't make me happy nor anyone else so I've chosen to focus on bunnies and bees instead!! I think this is a very feminine way to react!
Nevertheless this wilting Daisy is a very fine photograph showing sharp details and it is a nice contrast to the concrete its on.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla
