Faded Flowers

This will be my last post for a little while, as I won't have access to social media for a while, so I thought I'd leave you with something adorable....

I received a beautiful flower arrangement for Mother's Day....

I love the formal arrangements and always try take photos while the flowers are still reasonably fresh....

The roses never last very long and are always the first to go, but the other flowers in the arrangement can often last for two weeks or more. By then the entire arrangement is ready to go onto the compost pile.  And then the fun really begins. I take the faded flowers outside and cut them up for photos with my dolls....

Most years I've photographed the faded flowers with fairies, but this time I chose my two baby elves, and their two little friends, the little girl dragons...

So, I'm leaving you with this big smile, and for all you fans out there who come here every day to check out my daily Blog posts, you can always get your daily fix in my Favourite Photos albums for the next little while instead.  There's fourteen years worth of photos and stories there that you can revisit, and enjoy!
