my roses

are suffering and not coping well with the lack of water. for the macro decay.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

sorry to hear this - but wow what a macro!

[Taffy]

Perfectly preserved phase of its life -- and you've composed it so well.

[Maggiemae]

Even in this sad state, your focus and light is just excellent!

[Bep]

Great macro!

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful shot. I have started watering them regularly already.

[Mariana Visser]

I love this one Diana

[Joanna kate]

Terrific image though

[Wylie]

Lovely antique shot

[Joan Robillard]

How sad. Feel like we are wilting from the lack of contact with people.

[Beryl Lloyd]

So sad but a wonderful papery look !

[Lynda McG]

A great image to replicate the world at the moment and how we are feeling!

[Lou Ann]

Awww it’s beautiful anyway.

[Merrelyn]

There is still beauty in decay, lovely image Diana.

[Peter Dulis]

Great capture with beautiful details.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

How sad, to see such a beautiful bloom wilted because it's thirsty.

[Sylvia du Toit]

Thanks for sharing. We did get lots of rain. I can't believe my eyes when looking at our garden now. Before Xmas grey and dead. No lawn. Now green. Hope you do get some rain.

[Rick]

Great capture. Hopefully, y'all will get rain soon.

[KWind]

Fabulous clarity and textures.

[Shutterbug]

Beautiful decay. It makes the edges crinkle in a lacy way.
