MMXI::EIGHT

If I had one wish (okay maybe two I am sure I would be much more pragmatic with my first wish). I would wish to have fresh flowers in my home at all times. These dahlia’s were more stunning than any flowers I had ever received, they were like ballerina tutu’s and ranged from soft pink and blush to the palest of yellows.  Stunning seems an inadequate adjective to describe them. I did have the good fortune to shoot these in the morning light and did them justice, but I also thought I would shoot them at night so I could savor their beauty for a few hours more.  The ones taken at night were in a word–dreadful. Trust me your eyeballs may melt when you click over, for the ‘before’ but for the sake of comparison and this project here it is.

  1. Dear Miss B :) when we lived near San Francisco 22 years ago, I too wanted to always have fresh flowers in our entryway every week. I went to a florist near my work and set up a weekly flower bouquet pick up. We settled on a nominal price and every friday after work I stopped by and they had a bouquet of flowers ready for me. It was made up of all their leftover odds and ends. They got rid of their extras and I got to have an exotic arrangement every week. I ended up with flowers I could never have afforded if I had special ordered them. I think they enjoyed surprising me too! Win win :)

  2. Gorgeous! And I love the idea of fresh flowers too….maybe because I can’t keep living plants alive it would be the only way to keep things green in my house….
