Thank you, Colline. I was glad I had something for the challenge. My next choice would be hubby’s torn jeans, but I did not want to shame him 😉 😀
I’m curious to know the contents of the WordPress post 🙂 I often start at the wrong end of this challenge and tonight is no exception. My husband isn’t the one for the ragged jeans but I’m sad to say that I am. Maybe I should go with that?
Meantime I like your image and the fact that it is not your nerves that are fraying. 🙂 Have a happy weekend, Paula.
I might think of something or see if I have any drafts that can fit. I wish you a wonderful weekend too Paula. I’m “home alone” this evening (only me and the sleeping kid at home).
This photo offers so many parts: the delicate matting of the calyx; the maroon of the centre of the filaments; the airy hairs surrounding the maroon.
I hope you feel relaxed rather than frayed! I’m enjoying your images and sound more and more now I’m enjoying solitude and my own company. They give me a brief moment of focus and meditation as I try to slow down into pleasure at being in my beautiful part of the world. They also challenge my vocabulary as I try to appreciate with more than a “like”!
Dear Meg, reading you is certainly increasing my vocabulary 🙂 I wish I could write you a longer thank you reply, but it is my bed time now and can hardly keep my eyes open. Thank you for all your attention and company. I really appreciate it 🙂

Is this considered macro? I like seeing all the frayed hairs of what I’m assuming to be a seed pod. But I’m probably wrong!

I would call it a close up. I am not sure what plant and in what form it is. Thank you, Emilio for taking interest 🙂
