Magnolia angel

This sweet flower reminded me of how an angel might care for her treasures. The petals softly surround the stamens which have fallen overnight.

Three good things:
1. Beauty found in every individual flower
2. Ate a lot of chocolate liquorice nuggets while making a video to demonstrate the difference between broadband and gigafibre! Its difficult to explain why I used chocolate other than to have an excuse to eat some!
3. I don't feel guilty, just creative!

GT #2 is hilarious! You! So funny! This is pretty how the petals are cradling the "fallen souls."

[Maggiemae]

@espyetta You say it much better than me - 'cradling' was the word! Thanks Marybeth!

[Kerri]

Beautiful shot

[MaryBeth Dailey]

@maggiemae LOL! NO problem!

[MaryBeth Dailey]

@maggiemae Kind of like Mr. Metal cradled that Chico Choco candy baby in my pic the other day...hee hee

[Maggiemae]

@espyetta yes, exactly!

[Simply Amanda]

How funky. Like maggots;-).

[Maggiemae]

@amandal Amanda! I wouldn't shoot maggots - they look like match sticks actually!

[Simply Amanda]

@maggiemae We had the sickest thing with maggots once. I had a bunch of chicken carcasses in the garbage in the summer and didn't bag them up properly. Sooooo gross.

[Simply Amanda]

What I meant to say was lovely flower. Sorry for the bad reference.:)

[Maggiemae]

@amandal I was only being amused, Amanda - nothing bad at all. I love free expression!

[Simply Amanda]

I want a maggot shot someday now:). And shew, oh good!
