THE MEANING OF AUTUMN
WINTER is the shadow, the etching of the seasons in the mist
WINTER is the fire, simmering lonely in the soul
- Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

au grand mérite
s'en va à la dérive
De rêves en rives...
(French Haiku I just composed to honorate your beautiful picture, but I'm not sure I'll be able to translate it)
Daisies are survivors, they bend if necessary, but don't break easily. I'm sure this one was completely recovered, and quickly!
it's beautiful even in it's fragile state. hope all is well.
Bent but not broken - and may we be the same? May our spirits bend but not break!
That look like mine too, too much rain or too hot whew!

petals doing the OKAY gesture?
Still very lovely. Happy MYM!

Gemma, it is a beautiful daisy, wonderful photo! Happy MYM!
a great wee shot of a forlorn seeming bloom
Poor thing, it needs an ombrella !
Beautiful picture !
I like your photo and the words are so true!
Our queen in Denmark, Margrethe the II, loves daisies, and her private friends call her "Daisy" ;-)
He painted lilies,
Claude Monet, but daisies could
have sprung from his brush.

I would never have thought that a drooping daisy could make such an intriguing picture Gemma.
When we lived in Oregon, our spring flowers were often ruined by rainstorms. it was a good year if the tulips and daffodills made it through their blooming cycle.
Great shot! Hopefully the water will make it feel better.
