I like this a lot. Very fresh looking and of your series of 3, this is my favorite. I was surprised they are called posies, I thought they were daisies although I've heard the kids poem: Ring around the rosie, pocket full of posies, ashes, ashes, we all fall down. So I went down a rabbit hole (as can happen to me) and you will be surprised to know that the rhyme is from the medieval time, where Ring around the Rosie, was about a rash from plague on a person. That they believed that a pocket full of posies (small flowers) would protect them, that ashes, ashes, was because they would cremate people with plague to safeguard others, and we all fall down, was that many people died. ... Oh, my, I know this had nothing to do with your beautiful photograph, but felt I had to share, as it took me so much by surprise. Still love the image, whatever the rhyme may say! :-) Maggie

It's funny because I just realized I never think twice about calling pretty much any flower a posieπππ Now, more than normal or must bring to mind the plagues of history. Still a great word though πππ»π»
