I had a long walk today, about five miles, and this was the best shot of the day. There was a hedgerow which had ran to seed, and was beginning to be overrun by weeds. But beauty lurks everywhere. We just have to look closer. I love this picture - it turned out exactly how I hoped it would. One for the printer...
It would be nice if you liked it too, but don't worry if you don't
The meditative walk did me the world of good, and this is for me a reminder of it.

I understand...Since retirement walking has been become more than just exercise. It really does something for my mind and soul. When I add the camera it also makes me see vs just move. I like photo by the way...not that it really matters. It's meaning is more important to you.

That's good guys, the way you walk and feel and all the more enjoy. I must say I agree and enjoy the ...weed is it? As it shows that there is some beauty in withering too.

Let's hope so, as we all get closer to withering ourselves

It really is beautiful Rob and I understand how you feel about it.
I would love to see more space around the flower, especially on the vertical and maybe seeing more of the stem making the flower seem a little more 'lonely looking' or isolated.
But what's more important is your feeling for it and the pleasure it has obviously given you, and it's a pleasure I share.

Cheers, Tom. I appreciate your comments. The original version (this is a square crop) showed more, but what was there proved a distraction, I thought. So here it is. But I do know what you mean. Thanks for the thoughtful comment.

Its a beauty, Rob! I love the feeling of Hollywood movie star glow which, albeit actually background OOF, sure seems to surround the center portion of the image. This bouquet has beautiful bokeh. Definitely a hanger fur the wa'.

Thanks, Brian. I love the idea of bringing a touch of Holywood to a humble weed! And why not, indeed?

Stunning Rob. I'd love to see these floral images all together in one place - a book maybe.

Ha! A book. That seems a long way off. I'll keep it in mind, though!
