are you expecting more guests?
this is a lovely shot--i love the wistful little petals that have dropped.
July 23rd, 2010  
This is a beautiful shot! I am very sorry, but I accidentally deleted your one comment on my one picture! I read the first sentence and could tell it was nice, though! So thank you! The other comment is, as always, heartwarming!
July 23rd, 2010  
beautiful photo - you and I must've had similar thoughts today - both posting shots of gorgeous flowers. I love this time of year, simply for the flowers
July 23rd, 2010  
I just love this photo! How creative of you to think to take a picture of this phase of the flower arrangement; I agree with Brett about the wistful little petals.
July 23rd, 2010  
So pretty and wistful, and I recognize those flowers. Oooh, I forsee more Cosmos in your future. :-)
July 23rd, 2010  
What a cheerful centerpiece, snail included!
July 23rd, 2010  
This is so delicate and pretty,nice to have a quiet day sometimes....
July 23rd, 2010  
Love this----looks like it came straight from the garden! Thanks for your reassurance as my journey unfolds :o)
July 23rd, 2010  
snail races?
July 23rd, 2010  
Wow, love this vase with flowers and the composition!

Thank you so much for your warm comments on my trip's picture! I do wish you could arrange a future trip to Peru with Ken, you won't regret it!
July 23rd, 2010  
my last comment before I go to bed. just wanted to say this is so lovely and has a feeling of tranquility to it. Adore the fallen flowers.

In regards to your comment, you nailed it! We were at Oak Alley Plantation and it was divine!
July 23rd, 2010  
even pretty as the petals fall....
July 23rd, 2010

July 23rd, 2010

July 23rd, 2010  
Lovely flowers. Glad to hear you had a slow day today. Hope you were able to catch your breath before the next round starts. *hugs*
July 23rd, 2010  
So pretty and cute lil snail
July 23rd, 2010  
Very nice shot!
July 23rd, 2010  
i really like the composition of this ..the way the little flowers have dropped off around it..the colors are gorgeous as well. also love how you cropped it.
July 23rd, 2010  
Pretty! It's always interesting to experience the little life cycle of a flower bouquet...wistful,maybe?
July 23rd, 2010  
I'd never have thought of taking a picture of that stage - yet it has a beauty too. We've all been there.
July 23rd, 2010  
*Love* this! the composition really draws the eye to the jelly jar and fallen flowers, not the "normal" perspective! just lovely!
July 23rd, 2010  
Lovely composition and love the perpective too.
July 23rd, 2010  
Tiz a nice shot, unusual but excellent angle, like it lots!! Gorgeous soft colours too. Enjoy the next few days!
July 23rd, 2010  
lovely colors, very nice photo , cute little snail
July 23rd, 2010  
One of my favourite of your photos! Love the composition.
July 23rd, 2010  
It is always sad to see them drop...you've made it look quite wistful. I love your snail ornament......
July 23rd, 2010  
Beautiful shot - they still look lovely!
July 23rd, 2010  
Very pretty shot.
July 23rd, 2010  
thanks Weezi :o), nice shot here!
July 23rd, 2010  
This is just gorgeous! I love all those delicate little petals. I'm glad you had a little time to rest up today before your next round of visitors!
July 23rd, 2010  
Lovely arrangement and defintiely starting to lose its petal, but still quite nice.
July 23rd, 2010  
Nice composition with the snail and the petals.
July 23rd, 2010  
This is so pretty! Lovely picture!
July 23rd, 2010  
Lovely shot, Louise! Glad you had a day to relax. What happens tomorrow? (er, today?)
July 23rd, 2010  
Love how the petals are starting to fall. This simple picture says a lot.
July 23rd, 2010  
Flowers certainly do help to say that nothing last forever....and words that I know so well.
July 23rd, 2010  
this is beautiful Louise...enjoy your fun day tomorrow! :)

thank you for the comments on my pictures--I know you have so many friends--I appreciate you taking the time :)
July 23rd, 2010  
This is so pretty! I love everything right down to the simple vase.
July 23rd, 2010  
beautiful! i love having flowers on my kitchen table. i just wish they'd last forever!
July 23rd, 2010  
More company must be coming! Love the little flowers dropping down (:
July 23rd, 2010  
So true! Beautiful picture!
July 23rd, 2010  
This is so beautiful Louise. Great lighting..
July 23rd, 2010  
Lovely!
July 23rd, 2010  
Great shot, Louise! I almost did something similar the other day with some sunflowers I had in a vase as they were just starting to wilt...but then I waited too long and they completely collapsed...LOL!
July 23rd, 2010  
Beautiful picture...and your sentiments are so true. But maybe they aren't meant to be forever...and therefore we enjoy them for as long as we have them.
July 23rd, 2010  
Lovely composition and sentiments. So important to treasure what we have here and now. Thank you for voting for my photo in the curves theme. Enjoy your weekend :)
July 23rd, 2010  
A lovely photo ...
July 23rd, 2010  
beautifully composed, louise. i love the fallen petals....and is that a real snail?!!!!!!!!!!!
July 23rd, 2010  
The snail is a dainty little blown glass creature, a gift from my friend Nelda on a day we took a trip to The Valley. I love it there amongst the flowers :-)
July 23rd, 2010  
hahahahah...i thought, so. still. 365ers are known to do weird stuff for the sake of composition =)
July 23rd, 2010  
I recognize those little pink flowers from your cosmos earlier this week. (Must remember flower garnish).
Thanks for your nice comment on the hsot of me and my babies, I appreciate it. Have a wonderful time tonight with your Kappa sister. You do have an exciting social life indeed! L&L
July 23rd, 2010  
Not even a well-preserved glass snail. :) Nice composition. And at this point, there's no Brad music out there on YouTube. Perhaps we'll remedy that one day... Hope you enjoy catching your breath before the next wave hits.
July 23rd, 2010  
I love this! I can feel the peacefulness. I so envy you getting to enjoy that place for so long. In just two weeks I get to go camping and I can't wait! Way out in the wilderness with no electricity and no running water. My heaven!
July 23rd, 2010  
Love the photo.
July 23rd, 2010  
A friend gave me flowers from her garden yesterday at work and they are so lovely - zinnias mostly. I felt sad leaving them for the weekend but it would have been too difficult to bring them home. I hope they are still pretty on Monday!
July 24th, 2010  
great picture... and you are so right... the flowers don't last long enough...
July 24th, 2010  
This is so lovely, Louise. You don't expect the snail to be there, but it's beautiful.
July 24th, 2010  
thanks you very much for lovely comment
July 24th, 2010  
hi louise--thanks for your comment on my photo of charley. i'm suffering from a migraine this evening, and hit the wrong button by mistake and deleted your comment ):
as for ken's missed photo-op, oh how often i've come across something to snap and haven't had my camera!! poor fellow, i'm sure he was disappointed to miss the opportunity to be a 'contributor' again (heehee). i would have liked to see that scene though! (:
July 24th, 2010  
i love that you said i'm on the right "track". it's just so fitting with how i felt today when i actually took the camera when me, my brother and his girlfriend went biking. thanks for the comment, louise.
July 24th, 2010  
this is so pretty, i especially like the vase, looks like some kind of jar which i like to use for my flowers :) I'm off to Canada tomorrow! I've got so much to do and totally don't feel prepared for this trip. i will be thinking about you while we are in Canada :)) i won't be on 365 for 2 weeks, will miss you and your photos!
July 24th, 2010  
beautifully composed! i love the fallen petals and the little snail!! ;-)
July 24th, 2010  
Such a pretty flower grouping, and I love the title. So simple, but oft times forgotten. We need to cherish what we have "in the moment".
July 24th, 2010  
I simply adore this shot!
July 24th, 2010  
Very beautiful I love the petals on the table.
July 24th, 2010  
this is a very pretty shot! i like the little snail!
July 24th, 2010  
Just a lovely simple shot - nice!
July 25th, 2010  
nice simplicity mama :)
re: my artwork, I was not talking to you; I often have to day those words to myself! But if you heard the message, go with it ;)
And yes, the lights were at your fave tapas place. Had dinner with jb and ava, who's in town.
July 25th, 2010  
Love how beautiful this is while at the same time foreshadowing what's to come. BTW, you are clearly better than we are changing the water of your flowers. I say that because when the petals start falling off our arrangements, the water is also murky and starting to smell a little rancid :).
July 27th, 2010  
i love this! Simple yet beautiful!
