ReplyDeleteBeautiful ....
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers Arija - and I am sure they hold wonderful memories for you.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely photos...they fill my eyes to the brim! Say, have you ever thought of becoming a part of Guest Heart Thursday? The first photo of this selection has a heart in it! I think it is so beautiful. My sister is the host of GHT, and I know she would adore your photography.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see that you also took the time to capture the beauty of the funeral flowers.They wilt all too quickly,so this is one way to keep them.
ReplyDeleteThat orchid dripping rain is spectacular - wish I could smell it! A lovely, colorful wreath. Hugs to you, Arija. (PS you asked about the photo effects I used on my recent post. I'm editing with Snapseed nowadays - it's fun and easy.)
ReplyDeletethe flower arrangement sent a pang through my heart for you. bless you...
ReplyDeleteHeisann! Lovely... less is more... the first photo is gorges - Have a nice weekend ;:OD)
ReplyDeleteBoth are truly beautiful. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you have had enough - I would welcome some of that rain. We have had promises, but not a drop.
Beautiful. Flowers are such a gift given to our planet,and in turn to ourselves, and to others. What wonderful shots you have featured here Arija.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers photos!
ReplyDeleteGreetings, RW & SK
The raindrops wash and clear while your image captures the memory.
ReplyDeleteYour husband is in a peaceful place now.
ReplyDeleteI feel that the drops in the first pic look like tears. Wonderful flower shots.

Strange how rain adds to the beauty of flowers in photographs but in the reality of my garden it simply ruins them. There's a poem in there somewhere but I haven't worked it out yet!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful flowers in the wreath, and very nice that you were able to capture its beauty for your memories. I really love the shot of the raindrops on the orchids!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful combination of flowers for the wreath!
ReplyDeleteWonder if my comment went through...such a beautiful combination of flowers for the wreath, and a wonderful gesture of their friendship:)
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are so beautiful. Touching memorials for your husband.
ReplyDeleteThe flower wreath is lovely, and such sweet remembrance attached. I dried some after my momma's passing in 1993 and still have one single flower. The start image, seems to be weeping, yet weeping tears of joy...rain the life giver~ Hugs
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful indeed, and a touching memorial for a terrible occasion.
ReplyDeleteI love the water droplets on your orchids!!! And your Halloween post is so much fun!!!
ReplyDeleteOh Arija, it seems like the orchid is shedding tears. Oh but what a lovely idea to take pictures of the flowers from the beautiful memorial wreath. Now you have the pictures as a permanent reminder of how much his friends also miss him.
ReplyDeletegorgeous, those flowers in the rain !
ReplyDeletemagic and loss - two side of the same coin I think.
ReplyDeleteNo, I will not be off to the cup - but I will be out and about with the kids, so the blog can take a back seat!

ReplyDeletezuletzt bleibt nur die Erinnerung an schöne Stunden und das Glück, das Du erleben durftest. Der Schmerz vergeht mit der Zeit, aber die Leere im Herzen bleibt.
Love your beautiful flowers,
