Friday Flower and a Hug

I took a shot of this flower the other day but ended up blipping something else. It took me much longer today to replicate it with one I don't like quite as much.
It was lying around with some other dried out flowers. Probably from Helen's wedding but I'm not certain.

Then I tried to get a shot of Julia getting a hug from the dog she is minding. There is a lot of motion blur so I'll put it in extras for those who like abstracts.
