pink daisy petal nearly touching the lens.
caught up trying to catch the light and didn't notice it.
happy accident.

photograph.

macrophotograph of a white chrysanthemum that the sun lit up. green leaves to each side that fade to the dark background. a pink flower in the foreground, nearly touching the lens is out of focus and becomes simply a streak of color.

flower that's starting to fade.
drooping. but drooping beautifully.
still glowing.

here's to glowing when you droop!

photograph.

macrophotograph of a white flower that's begun to droop. still beautiful. drooping but glowing. the entire image is white... white flower against white background, but with the green calyx at the top. and purple in the petals' shadows.
