Oh,its holding on so well, still so very pretty. Your both still in our thoughts and prayers. Excellent capture and job here.

I love this picture. Trying so desperately to hold on to its Summer beauty when it is fading on the vine, and nothing will stop the process. Kind of like us "No Spring Chickens", huh? Oh well, age brings character to a face. Glad Mom is home. Let's keep her there for the holidays, now. Just tell her she can't get sick any more. Prayers, honey. Tie a knot in that rope, and SWING LIKE HECK!!

hugs I hope that you and your mom stay happy and safe, best wishes go out to you both. This Petunia is so luminous, a bright beauty, perfect colour! Lovely compo, gorgeous =)

Wonderful news about your Mom! :) There seems to be a connection between this Petunia and your Mom! They both still have beauty to bring forth, and therefore continue to struggle to do so! Hugs, and continued prayers!

Such a beautiful flower. Great news about your mom :)

"It's not the number of breaths you take in life - it's the number of times something takes your breath away". This image does that. Hug and love your mom. PEACE to you, dear soul.

Stunning color from withered beauty. Indeed prayers will be said.

Withered and trying to survive. How appropriate to see such beauty in someone or something that is trying as hard as can be to be the best they can be; like your Mom; like you; like me. Excellent work. Peace and prayers to you and your Mom.

A perfect shot and so appropiate for our struggle with life and aging. My best wishes to you, Susan, and your Mom, and family, for a happy holiday, free from stress and pain. Hugs.. Dave :^) V

Great photo!! God bless your mom and family. And you!! Hope things are going well.

Hope all is going well and in my thoughts and prayers
