This photo shows the resilience of flowers. Give them a crack with a minuscule amount of soil, and here they come, right back again. This was taken last May at the Giant's Causeway on Northern Ireland's Antrim Coast.
I absolutely cannot fathom why people do not and/or cannot read. I thought you did a very good job of explaining yourself in your original post. Nice photo!
I thought this was an excellent photo until I clicked 'Download.' Now I believe it to b a totally outstanding image! Clone out the dust spots and have it commercially printed into a poster-size and frame it. It's definitely a wall-hanger. Terrific planning and a really great shot!
Pug, yours is definitely a male. The females don't have wattles like that. Also, males have spurs on their lower legs and a beard coming out of their chest.
