A Delicate Flower Beyond Compare

It's a grey, wet day here, so I figured everyone could use a little "happy happy, joy joy"...this is as close as I could bring myself to come to that particular emotion. On the bright side, my dear wife will be delighted that I bought her flowers...

Also, thank you for your patience, this will be the last "full on" selfie for quite some time. I might pop up in a photo from time to time in the near future, but to be completely honest I'm quite tired of looking at me (as I'm sure the majority of you are as well).
Again, this works best against the black, so please view large if you have the time.
I like this!! Much more lighthearted and happy then yesterday's shot! Sometimes it is fun to be scared though!! :D!

Yay flowers!!!! does this make them second hand? Oh well Yay flowers!
May 21st, 2014  
@kimkyra most of them are still new...

Interesting. I like it because it's not typical in any sense of the word.

It will be an adjustment - I think we have all found a kind of comfort in seeing your full-on selfies day in and out. Here's to a new chapter!!

Flowers?? Am I on the right profile!? Very pleasant and colorful! :>)

@eyeamlisa Thanks very much - I dare say there will still be mayhem of some sort, I just need to give my face a rest
@cailts Thank you...and yes, still in the right place
@livvy Erm...nope, not just yet ;)

May 21st, 2014  
Are you sure you're feeling well Graeme -flowers?
May 21st, 2014  
Very creative Graeme, but I'm worried about you with all those flowers.
May 21st, 2014  
@orangecrush Thanks very much, she quite liked it too!
@ceilidh I'm just peachy keen thanks!
@golftragic The hay fever was a slight issue, but I wiped them all of once I was done

I-Me-Mine, at least I can feel a little Zen here than the other scary ones
May 21st, 2014  
@graemestevens I should think so, I look forward to you reverting to type asap.
May 21st, 2014  
your shots alway make me smile, this one probably more. great fun selfie.
May 21st, 2014  
@yaorenliu Fair enough, can't argue with that
@andrewkru Thanks very much
May 21st, 2014  
You look pretty with flowers in you hair! Bwahahaha...I love the contrast of the face paint - reminds me of the Joker - cool shot!

YESSSS I'm so happy that the selfies are going away! Now we can go back to teddy bear mutilation, fire balls and destruction on never before seen levels :)

@creativefool thanks very much - I'm a hippy at heart
@gigiflower Quite possibly - we went to a Photography Club meeting tonight and there are two other pyromaniacs there. I believe we're planning a small but very combustible gathering...
May 21st, 2014  
Loving the flowers. Looking forward to seeing what you do next

@graemestevens Don't bother with the "small". Go BIG or go home!
May 21st, 2014  
Very Frida kahlo
May 21st, 2014  
Awesome…I've got to say it…love how you're 'stashing a smile' in this shot.
May 21st, 2014  
@rachelwithey thanks very much - not entirely sure myself!
@gigiflower huh, that's almost what my wife says at times...
@neatz it is a touch isn't it - thanks
@tasian thanks - every now and then I can be seen somewhere near a smile...
May 21st, 2014  
I'm with Sam on this one..... @gigiflower
May 21st, 2014  
@newbank We shall see what we shall see, but it might be time to try something else - having said that, who knows what will happen?
May 21st, 2014  
Happy eh? You look dead, but maybe that's just me ;-)
May 21st, 2014  
Bonkers but I like it.
May 21st, 2014

@jess1204 thank you very much, always appreciated
May 23rd, 2014  
for some reason I am reminded of a Grimm fairly tale (where there is always something evil lurking around the corner) - even with the beautiful and colorful flowers
May 24th, 2014  
@deak68 Nothing evil yet...maybe
