Tough Year in the Garden


This has been a really tough year for the garden. This is, or was, a Purple coneflower, one of my favorite flowers. Are you impressed that I even know the name of a flower? We were away while the temperatures went over a hundred degrees, so there was no watering of the garden during such a difficult time. So this is the result. I will confess that photographing a garden in this condition is similar to photographing the abandoned buildings that I love so well. I try and find some kind of beauty in whatever I photograph.
