Dead flowers are dope
I've got a flower pot in my front near my door hasn't been watered in so long. It has been so hot here lately that the flowers are beginning to wilt away. I was going to throw them away because I am pretty sure they are passed the point of no return and no amount of water can bring them back from the dead.
As a photographer, one of the things you try and do is try and look for ways to make everything look more appealing. Normally when you look at a pair of flowers like this, it is from far away and they are not that great to look at, but when you get up close to them and take the time to appreciate the way that each of the petals have began to dry up and whither away.
In this huge world of ours that is full of the busy hustle and bustle of our everyday lives, it is important to take time to stop and appreciate the little things in life. If you don't take time to slow down and appreciate what is around you, pretty soon, you will realize that time has slipped away and you missed it.
I really the photo :)

I'm making a point to take the time to appreciate the little things and time is still slipping away but at least I'm not missing the little things but now missing the big things...guess I need balance...but I like the little things the best.
Life is all about balance, but I agree, the little things are best. They are usually the things that are taken for granted as well.
I live the way you blurred the background. Really neat effect.
Thanks Dan. That's all the lens selection and aperture.
Old school photography. I remember my photography teacher in High School, Mr. Zuckard (I took photography for 2 years as an elective). We had a dark room and everything. I got descent grades, yet it just was not something I ever pursued.
I do remember lighting techniques for something having to do with Rembrandt. I could look it up on Google to jog my memory, but I have more curation to do, and you know Sarge... He tends to run rabbits!
Great photos from a great guy! Thanks for sharing your skills with me. Appreciate it.

There is something very, very poetic about dead flowers. They have a kind of architecture that is missing from the living thing.
Now I have this tune in my head:
I think that dead flowers are more unique.
Poppies are a case in point! I find them far cooler without petals.
