hey all!!

Is anyone else getting sick of flowers yet? how about tomorrow we do "SOMETHING IN THE GARDEN" but not necessarily a flower? I am also running out of descriptors to convey "PRETTY", "LOVELY, "STUNNING", "GORGEOUS", etc etc

maybe we should add rude comments day to the "day off" and then leave comments using words like YUCK, GROSS, HOW COULD YOU DO THAT??, WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?? ,etc

LOL :)

sigh...


I have to admit...yes, I was getting a little bored with the same view of flowers hence "expanding" my vision of them. Look for something floral in places other than in a garden or in the wild...urban planters, go into a floral shop and ask if you can take pictures, outdoor vendors and farmers markets, candids of peeps with flowers, bring some inside and gather a still life, dry 'em out and work with them that way, pick a bloom and throw in on the ground, in the water...somewhere unexpected...and don't think I'm being grim and morbid here...I'm going to go see if anything new has been planted at the cemetery this evening. Some of the most beautiful places I have been were cemeteries, like the Bonaventure in Savannah,GA. I have also found some beautiful tombstones with floral carvings...

...remember...there is no DNMC...my point in starting this challenge was to create a place where a bunch of us could share, grow, and expand our lines of "vision" so to speak without getting hit up with crappy scores...we all know there are just loads of folks out there who will give a flower shot a rotten score, no matter how fab it is, simply because it is a flower...I'd like to think of this as a "haven" of sorts.

He, he, I'm kinda sick of flower shots too right now :)

I think it's the weather, it's hot here and miserable (I don't like hot), and everything seems icky and terrible and disgusting and what have you not. Oh well. Maybe tomorrow it'll be better.
