I don´t know which is more worrying, the fact that I have once again dead flowers at my home or the fact that I find human like mental states in them; this sad little faded rose looked to me like it would be looking outside the window dreaming to be in the sun with all the other flowers. Yeah, I should maybe get out more, lol.
It does look very wistful, love how you get so much emotion intno your flowers.
I wouldn't worry - afer all, everyone thinks that pansies have faces and various people in Greek myths got turned into plants and flowers by the gods.
Love the light and pov. I give human attributes to flowers all the time, glad I'm not the only one! I think they do symbolize some human feelings for us.
@tristansmum Thank you Stephanie, and yes I feel that way too, about flowers. I do sometimes project my inner thoughts and emotions in to inanimate objects as well flowers, and I think what you said about flowers is very true.
Hello! I'm your get-pushed-96 partner, and my challenge for you is to take a photo or photos that is inspired by the key point or event in a fairy tale or folk tale. If you could tell us the name and a brief description of the story that inspires the shot, that would be great too. :-) Have fun!
I really love this shot. You aren't the only one who sees "expressions" in the drying and dying flowers' positions. I had a daisy in a bouquet last year that just totally radiated depression right before the petals started falling off...
This is so beautiful! I think you just have a creative mind. I never give huge amount of thoughts to flowers but attribute thoughts to a lot of dead objects :-)
What I appreciated most in this post, is your sentiment towards the dying rose. It's leaves reaching toward the sunlight that offers life. It's being freed from the struggle and the strife. There will be another to take its place. Another rose to touch your face :)
@adamj Wow that's so poetic, simply love your words! Are you going for my heart with these kind of comments Adam;) Seriously I have always known you are a poetic soul and I have always appreciated your thoughtful comments very much. Thank you for all of your comments, I have enjoyed reading them very much.
