Tulips and other thoughts

I took a photo of the white tulips, a quick shot, a forgotten snap.

The next morning, I posed them on the table adding a canvas to the background, a candle in the foreground, lights on and lights off, an interesting book, some seashells. 

In the end the best shot was the simple one I’d taken the day before, as I was headed for the dog leash and a late afternoon walk. 

So much of life is like this, where the un-orchestrated is the most pleasing, the image that works.

Note to self: allow things to be themselves, independent, uncluttered and free— people, ideas, love, tulips.

  1. This image is perfection, Sylvia. I can’t remember ever seeing white tulips! Perfect vase, perfect contrast. Just exquisite (in case you have a doubt 😉 )

    1. Well, I’m not sure. I love big, full arrangements. Although, you’re right, sometimes a single stem is the way to go. I guess it just depends on the day, the feeling, the mood, the stem, the vase, what song is playing, what kind of coffee is being consumed…………….
