Cotoneaster Franchetii

A calming image today to make up for the excesses of the weekend. Oh boy it was a stressful one of watching 4 televised rugby matches. We saw Wales lose to South Africa, France get absolutely hammered by the All Blacks, Ireland lose to Argentina and poor little Scotland get robbed of victory in the last minute of the game - due to a wrong call by the referee who awarded a penalty to Australia. 'Gutted' is the only word I can use. Scotland should be in the semi-finals of the 2015 Rugby World Cup. Australia should not. It's going to take me a while to get over that. Rant over!
Fabulous focus, love the shallow dof. I think that this is the first time that there are no Northern Hemisphere teams in the semi's.

Just about everyone was behind Scotland, how sad for them! It is going to be a very odd final. Great shot and focus.

What a chuckle I got out of this beautiful "calming" photo! You said stressful and I imagined any number of things, but not sports! At least it was stressful fun!

It's amazing really, the toll that a loss in a game takes on one's spirits. It's honestly draining! You created a soft and fuzzy image as a tonic.

Wonderful colour, texture, dof and light, fav. So sorry to hear about Scotland--it's very frustrating when something like that happens.
