Bright sunlight playing with a bunch of chrysanthemums,
Throwing prickly shadows
then changing tack and softening the mood
putting more emphasis on the flowers
or highlighting the flowers against the dark shadows.

chrysanthemums in November? well i'll be buttered on both sides.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see that!!!
Deleteer, think twice. dark glasses would be the least of your requirements, Ma.
DeleteTa, I needed the chuckle!
DeleteThe flowers are beautiful and the shadow looks like something from the sea.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant - and I love their shaggy shadows. It reminded me of the tissue chrysanthenums we made for our mother's on Mothers' Day when I was at school (last milenium)
ReplyDeleteInteresting shadows!
ReplyDeleteI dont think the workers on the hotel sign were likely to stone me! Like hundreds of other migrant workers in Oman I think they were just getting on with getting on!

Even the shadows are singing with joy!

ReplyDeleteGreat photos.
ReplyDeleteLovely Arija...sending you hugs...Michelle
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flower and shadow shots here.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Very lovely flowers.
ReplyDeleteHi there - certainly agree that the "Easter Bunny" was originally a hare - their are many symbolic referees to animals that are hare-like that morph into the Eater Rabbit.
ReplyDeleteI think Peter may have been a real rabbit - given that in the story he lives in a hole, rather than a surface form. But there again Miss Potter was not really writing natural history!
Also agree about their pest status - the dark secret of my MIL's family is that a branch of it were the Austins who released rabbits around Geelong .

Love the prickly shadows from the soft flowers. I really like your header photo.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I am afraid. I want you to know that every time I draw an acorn, I think of you. You are one of my oaks, a strong spirit who guides me to virtue. Even though I have not met you, I know that you and my mother and sisters are of the same make. I love dearest Arija. I know people who do not blog and have not exchanged ideas for years without meeting, will not understand that. Take care my dearest beloved friend.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!

Lovely flowers.

Hope you'd come and see when you get a chance.
I don't get too much of of white flowers in my world. They are beautiful.
ReplyDeletePrickles of the shadowy kind are the best prickles because they can't hurt you.
ReplyDeleteA lovely bunch of chrysanthemums Arija captured in different moods.
Wonderful flowers, lights and shadows!
ReplyDeleteThere's something so lovely about a cream-colored flower, and especially a spider mum...just so sweet.
ReplyDeleteso lovely Arija!
ReplyDeleteThe spider mums always tend to make me think of mums with bad hair days. :)
ReplyDeleteI love them though!
The third shot is my favorite.
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteOhh I love chrysanthemums! And chrysanthemum tea- have you ever had it? It's just the dried flower sometimes, but better mixed in with dried goji berries and a tiny bit of sugar. Yum! (good for dry eyes, heh!)
ReplyDeleteThese chrysanthemums are so beautiful and cast delightful, dramatic shadows!
ReplyDeleteLove the shadow shot. Did you grow these? Been wondering too how all those tulips that you planted are doing?
ReplyDeleteI like your shadow play -- reallyl nice.
