Last one standing

One last picture from my favorite garden, just because their dahlias are so spectacular. It’s a pity, though, that there still are no insects to be seen. Really makes me wonder what’s going on since they were plentiful at this time last year.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

I love the image from this lovely Dahlia, it is a very bad year for insects, here with us too, last year was very good and now it is a disaster, probably due to the climate, it is a coming back and is being studied at the unif BV

Lovely with these signs of age. Yes, the lack of insects is disconcerting.
