Photo Hunt - wrinkled
The theme for this week's Photo Hunt is wirnkled. In the absence of any photos of shar peis, or crows feet I offer this shot of a morning glory that bloomed today and is now dying.
wrinkle to start and finish life --it seems fitting for the circle of all life pretty wrinkles Stop by and see my cute dimpled /wrinkled three generations/
Those blooms die every day? Nice. .. I have given you "You Give Me Happy Feet" award. Jams, you are there for me in blogging as the numbers tell in your encouraging comments. I went by the numbers, but I really appreciate you and your posts. I did give it to myself again, "went by the numbers!" Come get it again from my Little Photo Place and review the rules! ..
