Every living thing ages, the trick is to do it gracefully! I think these flowers have got the hang of it.
The March 1st theme for City Daily Photo bloggers is "Aging". To see how other bloggers represent the theme, click here.
I have a new post on Sharon's Sojourns today. The magic of Venice is featured.
Yes definitively photographed with grace and dignity.
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful colors
ReplyDeleteThis is such a lovely photo, Sharon, even if the flowers are wilting!
ReplyDeletePerfect and beautiful choice, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteThe still vibrant colour of the ageing flowers against the blue of the vase brings life to the image Sharon, gorgeous choice for today.
ReplyDeleteI like this spin on the theme - Much brighter colours than one would usually associate with aging
ReplyDeleteGood technique. I hope I can do it somewhat gracefully. It will be a challenge. Ha.
ReplyDeleteA little bent and faded but still pretty to look at.
ReplyDeleteThey are still soooooo pretty though!
ReplyDeleteInteresting that the color remains so vibrant. Kinda sad to see them drooping.
ReplyDeleteThey definitely do! Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteAgeing but still good-looking, Sharon! As we all are!! ;-))
ReplyDeleteStill got it :-)
ReplyDeleteNice thought. I agree with you.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and very colorful theme day shot.
ReplyDeleteBravo, Sharon. I applaud those who decided to approach the aging theme in a positive way. Your image is lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnd . . . Venice? Did I hear Venice? I will be visiting your other blog ASAP. (I am flying into Venice airport in two weeks but alas will not even stop in the city before heading to Padua, then Florence, then Rome.)
They're still pretty even in this late state.
ReplyDeleteI immediately thought of the old Rolling Stones song, Dead Flowers. These will keep a bit of majesty until the petals drop.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sad end for, as Bob remarked, a flower of majesty, Nicely photographed, tho!
ReplyDeleteNice and colorful chioce for this theme, Sharon !
