I'm not usually one for cut flowers

“I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something; and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.” Helen Keller
To be honest I thought they were a waist of money since they only last a few days. But now that I am photographing everything in sight I have come to appreciate them much more. The fact that I can capture their beauty forever makes me so happy. Mike bought me a bouquet of flowers the other day and I have been having so much capturing the little parts of them.
Hmmm, not sure if this works

A flower's appeal is in its contradictions - so delicate in form yet strong in fragrance, so small in size yet big in beauty, so short in life yet long on effect. ~Adabella Radici

somehow cut flowers in the winter bring a small, much-needed bright spot into the house.

and this way, you're spreading the joy literally all over the world!

BEAUTIFUL. Love, love, love the baby's breath against the turqoise background. Gorgeous!

I hope Mike got something nice back! These flowers are beautiful! The baby's breath is surreal against the blue!

The second photo is gorgeous!

I love flowers and almost always have some in the house. I do realize it is a frivolous expense, but they really lift my mood.

Lovely photos....macros are so much fun aren't they. They really make you notice details you've never seen before

I'm with your sentiment about cut flowers, but they are oh so pretty. I often ask my significant other to just buy me a flowering plant that I'll be able to enjoy for a bit longer.

Nonetheless, beautiful pictures. I LOVE the effect of the pink baby's breath and how it looks like it just appears out of nowhere! So so so nice.

Thank you for sharing!

I love flowers, especially gerbs (which always last me 2 weks, btw) and you did a lovely job with these!

Those are pretty stunning macros. I love the one with the turquoise blue background with the small purpley flowers. I loved it on your flickr. Well done. I love shooting flowers. You can really experiment because they hold still :)
