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!
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
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…
OK, so now I’m depressed. Sigh… Thanks a lot, Sarah! :)

Life can be pretty hard sometimes. It’s a great reminder to take care of our environment.
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. :)
Kristi, Live and Love…Out Loud

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!
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).
How sad. That first one is actually beautiful though. Great pics. Happy WW! Thanks for linkin up!

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!
Even though it’s a sad picture, it’s a fantastic shot! First time on your blog and it’s absolutely beautiful!

Even tho’ broken the beauty is still there and you captured it amazingly! Totally love the first picture…fantastic bokeh! :D
Poor flower. I feel a bit bad for it. The pictures are nice though.

That is so poignant. You’ve captured beauty and sorrow in the same shots.

Oh same here, I think (or like to anyway) that everyone does at one point or another!
It really was quite sad, seeing everyone WALK on the flowers, people have no respect for even the smallest thing I swear!
Awww, poor little daisy. That first shot is just divine.

LOVING your blog design, and your photos are fantastic. I love that even “broken nature” can look amazingly beautiful.

I think the second picture looks like an album cover for an emo band.
Very pretty! What kind of camera do you use?
Thank you! Currently I use a Nikon D90 with a variety of lenses although I mainly use my Sigma 105mm Macro and 50mm f/1.8.
Lovely pictures. I really liked them and now want to go outside and take some of my own!
