Photo 365: Day 179 – Spent flower
As I was watering the plants in our yard this evening, I saw the spent flowers in our rose bush and one of them has shed all it’s petal and had this ‘star’ like pattern – I am guessing Japanese Beetles have devoured the flowers.
Had this shot with Nikkor 60mm macro – originally tried with Sigma 150mm and 50mm prime but I like the one shot with Nikkor 60mm macro better than the others.
That reminds me that I am behind on dead heading the spent flowers 😉
Nice mono green tones. Great crop too. I’m behind dead heading too. Never enough time.
I don’t have the patience for deadheading. I’m enjoying not having a yard to take care of this year.
Even without the petals, it still looks like a flower! Great details!
nice detail shot and flower shots don’t necessarily need to include a perfect bloom.
I love the delicate hair-like texture on the open flower.
very crisp! nice dof!
