Traffic-light Lanterns by filsie65

Traffic-light Lanterns

A friend threw these out from a flower arrangement so I begged them for me rather than the bin! Thought they were so pretty and took a shot of them by the window to try to catch the light coming through.
(Obscured the view and window with a white plastic bag!)

You are too kind - thank you so much for your views and comments on the little thatched bus stop, thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend

Fav. These are gorgeous little flowers and the minimalist approach really works

Very pretty shot and so creative that you used a plastic bag to block out some of the light. We call these Japanese Lanterns. Like the simplicity of the image.
October 21st, 2012  
Nice.
October 21st, 2012  
they are so pretty! now that is a very good idea about the white bag at the window! I will keep that in mind! just in case you don't already know it, you can keep these forever....don't put them in water and they will dry just like they are. congrats on PP!
October 21st, 2012  
They do look like little lanterns, they are so cute! Great colors, too. Beautifully captured! 8)

Fav - love this & I'm going to remember your placcy bag idea! Cant believe these were for throwing out - they're an arrangement in themselves.

Magnificent 'traffic light' colors! This is a beautiful flower arrangement!

Fav ! Such beautiful colours and I love the softness of your shot too.
