It was very sad actually, people didn’t even notice, kept walking on it, drove me NUTS as I shot this at the local botanic garden!

That’s how I motivate people lol with depressing flower photos!

Why, oh why, do I not have your web design/coding skills? Or your photography skills? You should share these. Mail these skills to me in an envelope. Thanks. Love, Brittney




Sarah (3047 comments) twitter: @onestarrynight

LOL thank you! Could you imagine that? Like it’s some sort of dust or liquid one could consume to acquire skills? I could creep myself out thinking about it…

Life can be pretty hard sometimes. It’s a great reminder to take care of our environment.




Sarah (3047 comments) twitter: @onestarrynight

Agreed!




Well if that’s not a metaphor for the fragility of us all, then I don’t know what is. Great photos. Very thought provoking. Well done Sarah!
Thanks for stopping by and linking up. Have a great evening. :)

Thank you so much! I think people want to ignore anything that isn’t “perfect” or “pretty”.

I’ve not been feeling uber fresh and awesome lately so I thought these photos were fitting.

You know, I didn’t even realize it was broken with the first one, just thought it was very earthy and beautiful.

Happy WW!




Sarah (3047 comments) twitter: @onestarrynight

Oh yes, there were a couple more laying around, but I didn’t have time to shoot them (both kids were tired after being at the gardens for so long lol).

Sarah (3047 comments) twitter: @onestarrynight

Oh there were SO many parents just letting kids tear the flowers off or just run through the beds… this is at the botanic garden no less!

Sarah (3047 comments) twitter: @onestarrynight

It really was quite sad, seeing everyone WALK on the flowers, people have no respect for even the smallest thing I swear!

Beautiful photos!
I like the way you portrayed the crushed petals of a lonely flower :) I also feel the flower is going crazy at last!
