Word of the Day - Carnation

It was in the teens last night in The "Nati. There isn't a flower to be had out in my frozen flower beds. I guess I could have gone out and bought myself some pretty flowers, but it was just the holidays and with our trip coming up money is already spent in other areas. So I had to improvise. And since I had to improvise I had to play with it a bit, also. So this is my "Carnation" with a bit of a Fairytale Wedding theme thrown in for the heck of it!

[Sean O'Neill]

Well done for finding some Cathy, you will see from my post that I couldn't get any in our village!! Very nicely done.

[Judith Greenwood]

Well that's called thinking outside the box - or can!

[👑 AnaZad]

I guess several of us have use the milk can as a twist for today's word. Nice bokeh.

[Fanny Brogden]

Why didn't i think of that?Double desolation for Sean!!! Brilliant idea and shot Cathy!!

[Gerry]

very nice Tin of Carnation Milk Cathy if i had a tin of this i would have uploded it too.i was thinking this lunch time as a bit of fun but i see yourself and AnaZad had the same idea

[Maggiemae]

but now we are going to have miles of flower carnation photos?

[Phil]

What a pretty shot! Well thought outside the box. (Outside the tin?!)

[Yvonne]

Had the same thought.

[Simply Amanda]

Ooh, great bokeh shape to boot! Hey are you up for our meet up this Saturday afternoon?

[Amy]

Very well thought!

[Nada A.]

I went with Carnation milk too. :)

Love the effect to elevate a can of milk to more that it is.

[Sharon Lee]

Reminds me of Warhol

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Yes, agree with Sharon above, rather Andy Warhol! You have done well to make such a fun shot out of humble Carnation milk!

[Sheila]

Now I see why Carnations are showing up everywhere! Very clever!!

[Cathy Donohoue]

@amandalomonaco I don't know if Tom will get home in time to bring me. I really haven't driven down town in ages. He is working all kinds of crazy hours as we leave for Maui on the 19th! I want to so I'll see what I can work out.

[Lyn]

Hmm. . .there seem to be quite a lot of cans of milk today! ;-> love the bokeh, Cathy!

[Danny G.]

Nice bokeh and great shot, Cathy!

[Phil Howcroft]

i remember carnation milk 'back in the day' :)

[Lisa Pouncy]

Great improvisation. I love the butterfly bokeh xx

[Michelle]

Awwww i love how you have composed this :)

[Cathy (aka Possum Mum)]

Never thought about the tins of Carnation in my pantry. I ended up using the Google Images page and taking a photo of my laptop! Far too hot at the moment for any flowers to survive very well past the bud stage. Great photo!

[Leslie]

butterfly boken cool

[katy]

I have never seen a can of milk look so lovely!!

[Leonie Mogridge]

Very pretty with the butterfly bokeh.

[Janet Shaffer]

Lovely "flower" shot.

[Henri Russell]

Beautiful, Cathy. I used Carnation milk too, but I like yours better. I can't do bokeh.

[Cathy]

Very clever, and love the bokeh butterflies!

[Carren]

Funny!!!! Amazing bokeh!

[Vicki Dixon]

[Cassandra Hoffmann]

I like the addition of the butterfly bokeh! Also... they add vitamin D to it now? Wow huh!
