I thought it was pretty clever of Beth to make her You Capture subject this week flowers now that the flowers are all gone for the season. She really does want us to get out there and work! But the joke was on me. All I had to do was look around and they were everywhere.
There were scads of wildflowers at Striebel Pond - sometimes I just had to look for them.
And sometimes they were right before my eyes.
Sometimes some of them were dead.
And sometimes all of them were dead but they were still flowers and there was a certain beauty to them.
There are still flowers blooming around my koi pond.
And I even found flowers at Beth's in her flower bed.
And in her house - flowers given to her by people who love her.
And these are always the sweetest flowers of all.
For more flowers, visit Beth at Ishouldbefoldinglaundry but don't just visit. Show us the flowers that you found this week.

I think the second and third shots are my favorite. But the last two definitely elicited a huge smile and an "awww"!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, even the dead ones!!! The picture one of the kids drew for her was so dang cute, that was a great idea to get that photo!
ReplyDeleteGood job!
I love your captures. I had the same thought as you before I actually went out and looked for the flowers. They are still there to give us pleasure. Great job!
