The last flower by casablanca

The last flower

This was my lovely foxglove that appeared in the garden. Fascinating how they lose the flowers from the bottom up until just one little straggler holding on at the top.

The friendly workmen tell me they think they have fixed the major gas leak out in the road and when you walk by that hole, you don't smell gas anymore.

Last night the traffic lights failed and all got stuck on red for a while. The language out there.....the beeping of horns, the shouting, the dangerous overtaking and fighting over who got to use the only available bit of road...... thankfully a chap came promptly and re-set the traffic lights, but it was quite frightening for a while.

Could be a week yet as it is a different department who fill the hole back in! I see they have permission for the roadworks until 4th July....
Beautiful capture with lovely light and bokeh.

Hang on!! I didn’t realize the flowers fall from the bottom up.

Beautiful light and bokeh, Casa. Sorry you are having to deal with all that commotion right outside your home. 😟

The background really sets it off!
When something like that happens with the lights, why can’t people just take turns! Grownups 😡

Road work, the bane of our existence. Road rage, same the world over.

Nice light, pic!

That's such a super image - in so many ways.

Yes each job done by a different team! Glad the leak has been fixed though. It makes me cringe to think how dangerous that could have been. People have no patience at all! I,p love foxgloves & they give great height in the garden.m

Beautiful! Fav! Glad the gas leak got fixed… the other sounds like a mess.

@frodob me either!

Beautiful shot with lovely bokeh! Love the way they have different departments for different types of work ie digging a hole, filling in a hole! 🙄

The green that is left is quite pretty also.

It's all go go go (or not) at your place.

Love the bokeh in this shot
