.Just a few moments before I happened to pass by yesterday this flower was probably at the peak of its beauty, beaming at pedestrians from a nearby hedge, but now it lies forlorn on a sidewalk, its moments numbered.
.Treasure beauty wherever you find it, for it may be gone in the blink of an eye.
.Yes, a bit maudlin. As you may guess from the tone of my post, our stressful situation has not yet been concluded, but hopefully will be by Thursday afternoon (oh how I hope so). Once it's all safely over I'll tell you about it.
.
I hope things turn out okay. I don't always comment, but I am a regular reader, and always enjoy my visits to your blog.
ReplyDeleteThe pretty red pops out from the background. Hope all will be well with you.
ReplyDeleteExcellent shot for Seppia Scenes! It would have worked for Ruby Tuesday as well, Robin. I do hope your problem will be resolved successfully...
ReplyDeleteThinking of you Robin, sending you more good vibes...
ReplyDeleteToning down the sidewalk (or did you brighten it?) with sepia makes the red flower stand out better. You are right, savor the art when you can. Here is art that could be framed, a beauty!
ReplyDeleteLovely shot, Robin. I do hope all is well!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty shot. Definitely should be in a frame. I love your header but there is only one thing wrong with it. Your kitchen is too clean ;-) Doesn't look like mine at all.
ReplyDeleteWishing you all the very best. I'll be staying tuned. Maudlin it may be but life is like that sometime and this is a lovely illustration of hope and optomism.
ReplyDeletehope things turn out okay! take care.
ReplyDeleteWish I could do something to help.
ReplyDeleteIt made a beautiful picture, tho!
ReplyDeleteyes hang on tight
ReplyDeleteI am glad you found a way to express what you are feeling... to say what you can and express it in such a way is only giving voice to what can not always be said. I'm hoping with you... XO
ReplyDeleteA beautiful combo of sepia and red.
ReplyDeleteThe flower once had it's glory I'm sure :)
May the beauty endure; may peace come.
ReplyDeleteSimplicity teamed with elegance - I love this great shot!
ReplyDeleteTake care Robin. May your days soon be stress free.
Very nice what you've done here! I forgot about that effect - but that red flower sure looks nice, especially since I'm so ready for spring!
ReplyDeleteI also hope that everything works out for you!
ReplyDeleteI love this imagery. Something bright and cheerful in an otherwise gloomy place.
ReplyDeletePlease let us know when you are safe. beautiful photo too.
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning the red on gray and the simplicity of the photo is lovely. Hope you are all OK!
ReplyDeleteI love flowers and this sepia scene makes it outstanding. Best wishes :)
ReplyDeleteStill channeling all the good karma I can your way girl. With the time difference, I'm thinking it's already late afternoon, early evening there so I'm hoping you've already gotten good news.
ReplyDeleteEverything still crossed that I can cross.
Hi!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Shot! The flower looks good enough to frame. Have a great day!!
Sherrie
this is so poignant. I'm glad I checked out today's post first so that I can feel the beauty of that flower as it relates to your good news
ReplyDeletemany hugs from NJ :)
Oh this is a wonderful mix of sepia with color. I have to agree with Penny.
ReplyDeleteIt does represent both lack of and abundance at the same time.
This absolutely wonderful Robin!!
Happy weekend,
Jackie:-))))
Nicely done, I love the bit of color.
