Comments on: Beauty Continues in Aged Rose – Picture to Ponder – vol 6 – Issue 8 http://photographyandtransformation.com/beauty-continues-in-aged-rose/2010/02/23 Seeing Your World Through New Eyes Sat, 04 Feb 2012 04:28:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Sheila Finkelstein http://photographyandtransformation.com/beauty-continues-in-aged-rose/2010/02/23/comment-page-1#comment-7003 Sheila Finkelstein Thu, 25 Feb 2010 03:03:36 +0000 http://www.photographyandtransformation.com/?p=449#comment-7003 Lauren, Thank you so much for your comments. Interestingly, 6 of the roses from the arrangement did not make it beyond a few days. And, 6 more are still in some "alive" state. There are a couple of yellow ones, hung over, that still are holding a shape. Color didn't work out as well photographically. I'll post tomorrow, perhaps. The other flowers from the arrangement have been waiting patiently for me to take pictures of them. I find interesting also, the "imperfect" pottery piece you mentioned. I'm moved to start looking for other imperfections. We'll see if they show up here. Lauren,

They have a rather "antique," look like pictures of flowers in an old Victorian album. I had three red roses in a Valentine bouquet - by the 8th day they were still looking about like yours. I took the entire arrangement apart because some of the other flowers had totally wilted. Six miniature carnations were placed in two small clear antique glass bottles and on day 11 are still looking very fresh on my two night stands. The roses lasted in a bud vase until day 10 at which point they bowed the heads so I said goodbye. I decided I absolutely needed more flowers - it is the end of February and I am ready for spring, so while grocery shopping I treated myself to some potted tulips and hyacinths. As for imperfections - I rather like imperfections. I found a disgarded handmade pottery vase once that someone had obviously tossed because it wasn't straight. During the firing process it began to collapse or list little, but it was glazed with the most beautiful deep blue glaze and it makes a perfect container for holding kitchen utensils. Each day when I look at it sitting on my counter I am reminded of how beautiful the color is and how perfect it is for the use I have put it to. I love it! thank you for sharing your flowers.
