On the Eve of Destruction

I took a picture of the double impatients on the end of the deck because they were looking better than they had looked all summer and were bringing me great joy.

The next morning they were completely destroyed! Something ate them down to the bare soil during the night. It was probably a deer who wanted dessert after snacking all night on the crab apples under the backyard tree.

I’m glad I got the image, even though it doesn’t do justice to how pretty they actually looked.
