Just next door..

I stopped at my neighbours fence with this huge bush literally in my face! I guess it wanted a day of fame. The colours are so pretty!
Thankful for:
Not really - my body wounds are still an aggravation and hurting,... a funeral in the afternoon was sad - a young man (66) who died in his sleep! The family and close friends are devastated!

[John]

Absolutely glorious! I love this!

[Beryl Lloyd]

So nice and cheerful !

They are a lovely plant but can be a bit rampant.. It is a Mallow and in the same family as Hibiscus..

[Maggiemae]

@julzmaioro Yes, it certainly is rampant! But with the camera's eye each flower is so beautiful!

[Dianne]

Lovely image, but sad about your friend.

[Casablanca]

I always see faces in these! So pretty.
Condolences on your friend. My neighbour died last week, so that funeral is to come. Hearty sympathies.

[Pam Knowler]

So beautiful!! Sad news about your friend - big hug xx

[Babs]

Beautiful flower. You are really having a rough time at the moment Maggie, hope 2020 is a better year for you.

[Corinne]

So pretty !

[Sarah Bremner]

Beautiful flowers and so much interest in the garden.
I can understand the sadness of a young man of 66.
Separation is never easy.

[Julie Duncan]

Praying you'll feel better - I know all to well, sometimes it's hard to be thankful. I hope you have an uplifting day today!

[Diana]

So beautiful and delicate. Very nicely captured.

[Leslie]

Man you are now rockin that phone. I'm really enjoying mine . So sad about the loss. It's always hard. Is it bad to hope to die in your sleep? Just falling asleep one day thinking you are healthy, I want to go that way. Ok TMI and a little sad ....

[Margaret Brown]

Nice focus and such a pretty colour, so sorry you are still hurting and of your sad loss.

[KWind]

Gorgeous flowers! Brilliant focus on your part!

[Pat Knowles]

You have summer maggie! So wonderful to see this warm & bright shot come into view as we scroll up. It’s all so dark here but we have the Christmas lights twinkling at the moment but it’s very different than here! Hope you soon start to heal a bit faster, seems to be taking a long time!

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Beautiful shot

[Maggiemae]

@lesip Exactly Leslie- no long drawn out illness getting weaker and weaker. Hard on those left behind.

[Margo Sayer]

Super shot...and VML the delicate 'lace filigree web’.

[Maggiemae]

@happypat Its taking ages, Pat - the doctor just peers at and says getting slightly better - more time -then dumps some silver nitrate on it!

[Maggiemae]

@juliedduncan Thanks Julie - one would hope every day things would be better. Its been 9 weeks so far waiting for that! I must have stubborn flesh!

[Maggiemae]

@s4sayer VML? "VML is a norteno gang in Morgan Hill California" Very something anyway! I didn't see the spiderweb till I had downloaded it!.

[gloria jones]

Gorgeous capture with lovely colors and details

[bruni]

Lovely flowers and yes, I noticed the web. your talk about silver nitrate on open wounds....oh my, that will burn. hope you have a high pain tolerance.

[Maggiemae]

@bruni No, it is completely numb, Bruni! Don't know if that is good or bad!

[Phil Howcroft]

[Islandgirl]
