Busy day today and I hadn't got my pic, so grabbed a few old books and dead roses...yes, I do keep dead roses as photo props, you never know when they will come in handy! ;)...and put this together, wasn't overly pleased with it so played with it in processing, it's not quite what I had in mind and I can't remember what I did but it was fun to try something different!
I'd put these roses in the airing cupboard to dry out but bits were falling off everywhere, all over my clean laundry, so I decided to take them out and actually photograph them! Not often I post a photo taken on the day :)
Wishing everyone a good weekend and thanks for all your kind comments and faves on my images. They are very much appreciated :)

4:52 - Abandoned
You can fill in the story with your own imagination :)
I was going to post a recent image that I shot for this theme, but kept coming back to this one from last summer, because it was like a double abandonment. The flowers that were left there; and the man (in my mind) who waited there to give them to her, and she never came...
I was out most of the day and will do my best to catch up with you on the weekend.

A few weeks ago, I picked this final bloom from my garden and brought it into the house. It dried and kept its shape. How did it know it was going to be photographed for Macro Monday's Single Flower Challenge?
Welcome to December! We can all use a little hope, so this will be the first day of my seven day Practice Kindness project.
Also in recognition of Giving Tuesday....." pick a cause that gets you fired up and give back". For me, it's St. Jude Children's Hospital which treats children with catastrophic illness, mostly cancer, absolutely free of charge!

"Now that your rose is in bloom,
A light hits the gloom on the gray."
Sometimes, we don't realize that the thing we are so intent upon, the thing that holds our attention so captive, is actually a reflection of ourselves.
Sometimes, in a still pond.
Sometimes, in the eyes of another being.
Sometimes, in the dark.
It's the reflection in the dark of the night that is the most telling.
It is the whispered reflection in the inky darkness that shouts the loudest.
Blessings,
Sheree
I suppose some of you may see these roses as past their prime. Dead. But to me, they have merely transcended their former selves, and have begun an entirely new existence in the circle of life.
Yes, these are the same roses, now dried, that have appeared in my earlier shots.
(For a special friend who sees shadows differently from many of us.)

This backdrop and music sheet were still out from yesterday's flat lay so I worked around that for today as I'm short of time. Title from some of the words under the magnifying glass.
Dried roses..

Day 307/365:
I'm so glad I keep so many of my flowers once they have dried out...always come in handy, especially when I can't think of anything else.
This beautiful book was a birthday gift from a friend. Of course I had to use it in a flat lay.

Tucson, Arizona
A fairly accurate representation of how we felt after our moving sale this past Saturday. But, nothing daunted, we're forging ahead to move out by September 24th. May the angels send in their equivalent of the Marines to help with the mountain of tasks remaining to be done, lol. This rose is from a bouquet that I just didn't have time to photograph when it was in full bloom.

Day 65/365:
It's been a beautiful day here today but I've been busy and was struggling to think of what to photograph when I saw my dead roses (of course I still have them).
Held against my dining room window.

I think I need a bigger house to accommodate all the props I am accumulating!
I am having a very busy time at the moment so apologies if I am a bit behind with commenting.

I never thought I would get a series out of an old hymn sheet...just goes to show what desperation can do. This will probably be the last one but who knows...

I love to read and I also like to collect old books so I thought I would combine the two.
I also did a high key shot which I may post as well. HMM
I haven't been on Flickr much but will try to stop by to take a look at all your work.
150/365: I've just finished reading this book that a friend lent me, I thought it was worthy of a photo.

We've had our grandson staying with us since we got back from Norfolk. He is a five year old whirlwind so I'm pretty exhausted...so a rather thrown together flat lay and so much for trying to catch up on Flickr!

Wishing you all a wonderful (and relaxing) weekend

Cookies don't always travel by post very well.
Thank you for all your kind comments and favs. They are greatly appreciated.
14/365: I bought the bias binding in a lovely little vintage craft shop in Melbourne, so it brings back wonderful memories. I've been wanting to use my bonsai scissors that I bought around Christmas time so put a few other bits on my suitcase to try to get my pic reasonably early in the day. It's another dull day here so there wasn't much chance of getting anything outside.

These roses may have been past their best but I couldn't part with them until they'd been used for at least one photo. I used a film filter for a vintage effect.

A flat lay using my now dried roses from a beautiful bouquet that my son and daughter-in-law sent me a few weeks ago.
I have fallen behind with commenting...again, will try to catch up later.
