I titled this one as such mostly just to make Nate cringe, seeing as how it’s impossible to know if Nature as a whole is capable of emotion. This was, however, the thought that led to this picture, so I wanted to convey that with the title.

Beautiful shot! The DoF and color work to bring the image together… I believe that nature as a whole does not have emotions (it is a complex machine), but does have a profound affect on those creatures that do…
Regards,
Jason

This flower looks confused. And very red in the face. Is that a balled-up handkerchief on the ground, or my lost brother flower, fall’n from the merciless world…
Seriously though. Cool idea, and nice capture.

Thanks, all — I couldn’t have said it better than Jason, myself.
Bro: feel free to rip this to your powerpoints.
Jandl – It’s funny that you chose the word “confused,” since I thought the very same thing. It may be morbid to think this, but I look at this as I do the scene in March of the Penguins where the adult penguin nuzzles the frozen, lifeless egg of its unfortunate chick.
But, all things considered, it’s just a flower. It just seemed to me that there was an emotion here.

Andy, at first I was buying the March of the Penguins comparison, but for some reason today the flower looks more like the Pixar lamp right after it squashes the I. “Confused” still applies, but in a slightly less morbid way.
Maybe I’m just projecting my own cheerfulness on to nature, because as of 19 minutes ago IT’S SPRING BREAK, BABY!
