Flower Bones by marlboromaam

Flower Bones

Found these tiny dried up little wildflowers right next to one of the old landscape timbers in the yard... which made it hard to get a good angle on them. So, I picked them and brought them on the deck. They're smaller than my pinky's finger nail. The old rusty nails in the deck are bigger! I was so amazed by their tiny texture and details... stiff and brittle like very old dried out bones.
I like the delicacy of these flowers. I wouldn't have thought they were so tiny. Great close up!

@deburahiru Yes, Deb, it's the original color. They are dried up like old bones and protected from the elements almost under a landscape timber. They really are sort of light brown and tan and in some places, they are gray. Thank you for your comments and the view! Always appreciated!

These are very pretty!! Nice shot Maggie!
February 10th, 2012  
they look lovely against the deck nice combination..
February 10th, 2012  
Wow, you captured a wonderful photo of them and like the way you arranged them. Hard to believe that they are so small. It is amazing how you can make them look so much larger than they are yet not lose their detail.
February 10th, 2012  
Even though they're dried they still have beauty. I like the angle you photographed them where you can faintly make out the wood as the background. A great photo!
February 11th, 2012  
looks like you managed to get a nice angle, I like it
February 11th, 2012  
This is awesome! Love the delicate flowers against the rustic background! Beautiful!

@cheyrebecca Thank you, ma'am!
February 11th, 2012  
Great shot - love that you photographed them against the timber deck as the similar colour tones work so well. Dried flowers can be every bit as pretty as fresh and you get to enjoy them for so much longer!!
February 11th, 2012  
I love this photo. Great find.
February 11th, 2012  
What a cool find! They are beautiful, and amazing that they are so small. Love their textures and color tones. "Flower Bones" is such a great title for your shot. 8)

February 11th, 2012  
Fav. Love the shot and title. I would never have thought of calling them bones

February 11th, 2012  
wow, i would've thought they were bigger than that. such a great close up shot. i love how they have a "papery" look to them. great shot with lots of detail!
February 11th, 2012  
These are beautiful! I never would have guessed that they are as small as your pinky nail! I love the colors in this too. FAV!

Would not have guessed they were that small....like the shot and all looks so rustic!

Very nice, I love the nuetral tones
February 11th, 2012

Great find! They look so perfectly preserved.. Did they make it inside the house??
February 12th, 2012  
so sweet and delicate! I wonder how they would stand up in a dried arrangement?
February 12th, 2012  
@jessielouise Thank you so much!

@buggus They did - got them in an old medicine bottle. Thank you!

@hillcrest It would have to be a very tiny arrangement. Thank you, ma'am!
February 12th, 2012

this one's a fav for me as I'm currently obsessed with these tiny dried up flowers - funny that before 365 i never would have glanced at a bunch of dried up old flowers and now it's one of my favourite things to take a picture of! well, this shot is really fantastic!
