And there was a one-week old bouquet of flowers, ready to go to the garbage.
The strong leaves resisted, and deserved a shot. As much as this sad flower.
I am joining Lens and Pens by Sally, who hosts each Monday the Sally D’s Mobile Photography Challenge.
Shot with an iPhone5 using the app Camera+ macro.
The schedule theme for this week’s challenge is: Macro
Thanks for visiting!

I adore each of them. The macro shot gives them the attention deserved. Each phase of a flower and leaf’s life cycle have their appeal. Well done. Happy Photo Challenge.

I am a bit jealous of the capabilities of the iphone for macro shots. Who would have thought a dying flower could be so elegant and interesting?! Fantastic contribution to the challenge, Lucile.
