Faded Roses

Earlier this month I received a bouquet of beautiful roses. Unfortunately they must have been a bad batch since they started to droop almost right away....

Well, I watched them wither away, then just before heading to the compost pile I decided to use them in some photos, with three little rose coloured fairies....Lenny, Raillie, and Cinnamon...

What a lovely use of the roses. My sister actually loves roses when they start to wither and their heads bow down. She thinks they're beautiful at that stage. It's all in the eye of the beholder.

I like the roses at every stage, but it was just such a shame that they all started to droop almost immediately. Usually they last for almost a week before they do that.

So I wanted to use them in photos.

The little fairy girls look pretty holding the flowers. They don't seem to mind that the flowers are drooping a bit.

I left the roses in the vase until they were good and dead, and chose Lenny to be one of the fairies since she wouldn't look too happy about them.

Your little fairies all look so sad that the roses are drooping, especially Lenny.

I imagine fairies would prefer bright, blooming flowers as opposed to dead ones. Which is why I chose Lenny. She's the saddest of the bunch.

These pictures gave me a mental image of the rose fairies collecting up the roses that humans don't want anymore, in the same way the tooth fairy collects the baby teeth.

Now, that's an interesting interpretation.
