“Flowers have spoken to me more than I can tell in written words. They are the hieroglyphics of angels, loved by all men for the beauty of their character, though few can decipher even fragments of their meaning.”
~ Lydia M. Child
I was quietly working away when the doorbell rang. The dog, as is his way, got to the door first. I scooped him up in my arms and opened the door. The van was already driving away. On the step was a big box with my name on it.
She had sent me flowers.
A couple of weeks ago someone bought me Champagne and now someone else was sending me flowers. Amazing what happens when you are brave.
I arranged them in a vase, took a picture and sent it to her
“You have made me smile so damn much”
“Good” came back the reply.
All day I kept catching sight of them and every time I did that made me happy. That evening I took them up to bed with me and sat them on the side. I wanted them to be the first thing I saw in the morning and they were. I sent another picture from my phone that included more than just flowers and that sparked the idea for more images so I set up my tripod and ‘proper’ camera and got to work
In the end there were 4 slightly different images that I was pleased with but picking which one to post here was an impossible task. In the end I sent them all to the the flower giver and asked her to pick. I am sure the others will appear at some point but for now, it’s ladies choice.

It’s a wonderful choice I too received some unexpected flowers this week. Maybe I should get the camera out with them too.
This image also makes me more than smile.

Your photos are always so stylish and sexy … and the story of how this picture came about is warming and lovely.
I’m sure I will not be the only one hoping to see the other photos to accompany this.

I love the edit on this and how that gerbera just pops and your body and the stem seem to mimic each other. Beautiful shot, Molly x
That is a really beautiful photo, and it caught me immediately. Is it you? Did you take it? If so, you should be proud. It is beautiful and sexy and elegant.
I usually buy or have flowers around most of the summer. I haven’t been able to this summer because of covid, and I miss them dearly.
Hi Minnie
Yes I did take it. All the pictures on my blog are taken by me.

Absolutely stunning, Molly! It looks like a still from a movie that I most definitely want to watch.
Fabulous shot, I think this is my favorite. Two things I definitely love.
This is so beautiful. It makes me think of you getting ready, watching someone, watching you in the mirror.
I love the words that go with this. I hope you get many more things and experiences that make you feel like this.
I love the use of reflected images. Beautifully rendered. I love the line of an beneath arch of robs. Simply beautiful.
Molly this is gorgeous and how lovely to get surprise flowers! X
You deserve that happiness so much! It makes me regret not sending you flowers all those months ago for fear of feeling daft.
This is a beautiful picture. And I love getting flowers, you are lucky!
Great picture!
