single flower

A radio item this morning prompted this shot today. It seemed appropriate in this week leading up to Remembrance Sunday.

(For those interested it was the Matthew Parris item on grief at 08.55 on Radio 4's Today programme - link here http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/b006qj9z/console and then you'll have to advance to 08.55 hrs by dragging the time slider right almost to the end of the programme.)
