  6. Ya know most of the time you hear people say "oh she looks so good" at funerals and I've always found that odd because being dead how good can one look? But in this case it is really pretty!

  10. yesterday I went to the botanical gardens and almost all of the roses were dying or dead. but I still love them. I used to dry mine up, they look vintage.

  11. Our daughter was active in theatre in high school and always dried the flowers she received for the performances. In fact, they are still hanging in her room at home, even though she is now away at college. I like how you took this subject and caught the beauty those of us DO find in dried flowers. Eternal- everlasting.

  15. Yes, it is! Wonderful work Lisa. But the flower itself really has me puzzled. Usually they fall apart before they dry up like this unless somebody dries them intentionally. Or does the Wisconsin weather freeze dry flowers in the wild?

  16. What I think when I see these: "Returning". As in returning to the ground from whence it came.
    Fabulous shots!

  17. There is definitely a quiet beauty to that dead flower. I think it has something to do with that burned amber color and its shape.

  19. Great shots! I totally agree with the title for your post. I find a lot of dried seed pods in New Mexico in the winter time have the same allure. :)
