I agree with Ben's second thoughts: Imagine how privileged this flower was to be noticed and captured in time! Not every flower makes it to this blog. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679401032436776944.post-26014079575340696502008-04-26T11:22:00.000-04:002008-04-26T11:22:00.000-04:00I really like this sequence Ben!

You ruthlessly <I>plucked</I> a poor innocent flower from it's home to satisfy your selfish desire for art!? I am ashamed to be your brother! If I had only known the blood of a plant was on this picture I would never have aided and abetted this terrible deed by editing the picture!<BR/><BR/>~A saddened and disillusioned brother.Josiah E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08441585493526052118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679401032436776944.post-23928044872772693372008-04-26T10:59:00.000-04:002008-04-26T10:59:00.000-04:00Thanks for the compliment, Carmen.

Unfortunately, I had to tear the poor flower out of the ground to get the picture, so it's a good thing it wasn't Earth Day that day. ;-)<BR/><BR/>On second thought, if I hadn't taken the picture, that flower would have soon died anyway and its beauty been lost forever. But <I>now</I>, its beauty has been recorded for posterity. (Hmmm... I wonder if I'm getting too philosophical about life?)Benjamin E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06761642715767336246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679401032436776944.post-47585591325317464112008-04-24T19:50:00.000-04:002008-04-24T19:50:00.000-04:00Excellent pics, Ben!Excellent pics, Ben!Scott Eashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03806891043429039240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679401032436776944.post-79486969137343942202008-04-24T18:45:00.000-04:002008-04-24T18:45:00.000-04:00The flower in "Simple Beauty" was captured to perf...The flower in "Simple Beauty" was captured to perfection!
