Floral Fantasy II
Posted by: AamirAug 26th, 2006 • Category: Eye Candy • Tags: flowers, nature •
Flowers… everyone’s favorite subject. Used in every occasion. It is so amazing that color, fragrance, shape and beauty, all comes bundled in one package. Here are some from my collection for you to enjoy…
In the hope of reaching the moon
men fail to see the flowers
that blossom at their feet.
-Albert Schweitzer
Where flowers bloom
so does hope.
-Lady Bird Johnson
Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made
and forgot to put a soul into.
-Henry Ward Beecher
Look carefully at picture 2 and 3. They have been cropped from the picture below. As you can see, a little creativity in cropping can result in a totally different perspective.
To be overcome by the fragrance of flowers is a delectable form of defeat.
-Beverley Nichols
‘Tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes!
-William Wordsworth
God has sown his name on the heavens in glittering stars;
but on earth he planteth his name by tender flowers.
-Jean Paul Richter
Many eyes go through the meadow,
but few see the flowers in it.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
When words escape,
flowers speak.
-Bruce W. Currie
It is at the edge of a petal that love waits.
– William Carlos Williams
I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.
-Edna St. Vincent Millay
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend 🙂
Adios

Ari: I just love that orange, purple, blue and red. Amazing that all these nice colors are together in here.
Back home I had a nice garden and I always had a feeling of talking to my plants. I know its crazy but when you water, plant and care them, it belongs to you just like you are to someone right.
Hey, just turn on the comment moderation ok. Few months I received a nasty piece of comment and then I had to turn it on.
Good job ari!!!!

What a stunning follection you have here, and beautiful macro work!
I particularly like the composition in the first shot that draws the eye to the tips of the flower and the water droplets.

Ari, I am finally back! Adored all the images you took at the Monterey Bay Aquarium and enjoyed seeing part of the progress of the pigeons.
Especially love the purple flower colors here! Lovely shots and quotes!
Do you know the name of the first flower? I remember carrying home one like this while out on a bike ride once.
Here is the address for my new site: http://www.greenteaobsession.com/
And who would leave a mean comment on your site? Anyway I never saw it nor what it said, but I think you handled everything well in writing those sentences above.

Oh what a treat Aamir, Just beautiful. You’ll be tired of giving numbers to floral fantasy.
Its was a relief to see the curtains on the pigeon story. Now I am obsessed with making templates
Been spending my time on it. Without any knowledge.

You are just the most nice person!
I really mean that!
You are always so supportive of so many others on their blogs.
If only there were more people like you in the world… it would be a pretty good place!!!
Thanks for always giving praise
on my poetry!
I do so appreciate your kind words!
YOU ARE GREAT Ari!

These are just awesome!! Eeeeessshhhhh!! And I am so angry at myself that I dont have much of a clue abt photography. I guess though, that apart from the technical know-how, one needs to have an ‘eye for things’ to make those pics look as beautiful, as u make them!!

And the way u have interlaced those pics with some real motivational lines is quite inspiring. Way to go, Ari!!

Breathtakingly beautiful. These are very lovely photos and the colors are very brilliant. Beautiful quote too.
Thanks for your prayers and sympathy and thanks too for your happy greetings. I’ll be back by Wednesday for the Wordless Wednesday.
My sister-in-law was finally put to rest. Cremation took place yesterday. It was a very painful moment for all of us as she was loved by the family. However, when one loves someone, she/he must also learn how to let go. As of now, my head seems to be floating on air. I can’t seem to find my brains anywhere yet.

Awwww they r so beautiful! Amazing colors n awesome photography. This is a quote about flowers which I like very much and i had used in one of my posts about flowers.
Silently a flower blooms,
In silence it falls away;
Yet here now, at this moment, at this place,
The world of the flower,
the whole of the world is blooming.
This is the talk of the flower,
the truth of the blossom:
The glory of eternal life is fully shining here.
-Zenkei Shibayama
