Weekly Photo Challenge: DELICATE

Hanging by its last parachutes

Delicate, and about to break

Left alone to forces of nature or society

Broken like a dandelion.  (Paula)

        1. I know, but if I lose this job, there is no hope of finding anything decent any time soon. I have become a regular nun from praying so much lately 😉 Thank you for your hug and your comfort.

  7. Fabulous thoughts for the theme, Paula. Very moving indeed.I think we’ve all felt like that at some time in our lives. I’ve always loved dandelions, and thought it such a shame that they are classified as weeds.
