Donated dead or alive?
Two branches had fallen off, so I received those in a glass of water….slowly the leaves have been drooping and falling off, but it remains striking….do you agree??
Well, I’m not keen on poinsettias as in the houseplant variety, but you have made a good job of them. I’d have just binned them!!
Glad you like my treatment of these, Jude….still not binned, I’m waiting to see if they ‘give’ any more!
Like a fallen phoenix! Striking indeed, Sue. I love the notion of neighbours providing you with decomposing plant-photo specimens. Was snapping some frosted windfall apples in the field the other day, and have to say I thought of you – in a good way of course 🙂
Oh, people are getting to know my penchant for wilting flowers!!
Is that nine words, or do the small ones not count? Just a thought.
Nice to see more decay on your blog, Sue. You do it so well. Honestly.
Best wishes, Pete.
Sorry, just worked it out. Bit slow tonight. Had a big meal out and some wine…
‘Past its best, but still stunning’. Six words. Apologies!
Ah, I saw this after I posted my reply….Ooops! Anyway, glad you like my decay images, Pete!
Six Word Saturday doesn’t count in the total, Pete
I need to concentrate more, I know. 🙂
oh dear!
It resembles the tattered remnants of a red velvet dress. It is stunning against the black background.
Ω
Thanks, Allan…..I thought a black background gave a bit more drama!
Excellent choice.
Ω
Sure is… 🙂 Beautiful capture, Sue!
Glad you like it, Amy!
The color, still intense. Gotta think this is an apt metaphor for some of us, for me, any way. :0\
The colour is still amazing! As for the metaphor, I can only do the past my best bit, I think!!
☺
You can make even the fallen and wilting look gorgeous.
I do seem to have a talent for it, Sue!
“Past it’s best but …” – oh, could that be me and all my demographic? A perfect shot of difficult red, with beautifully placed petal fall. Actually a neighbour who gave you decay would really be giving you a gift that says “I know you.”
I rather think she does know me! Glad you like this, and the ‘perfectly placed petal fall’ as placed those petals were!
I’m not a fan of poinsettias either, but the colour is fab and i wonder how it will fade.
Well, I don’t think it will fade, Gilly…the leaves will just fall off, as they are starting to do now!
Aw, bless! 🙂 It’s lovely, Sue! Happy Sunday 🙂
Thanks, Jo! And happy Sunday to you, too!
I love this commenty ‘conversation,’ if I may call it that. Perfect example of “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” I love the different perspectives presented! As far as the wilting poinsettia and Sue, I absolutely love the connection you made even if the post was DWI😉
DWI??
😉Decorating under Influence … As in the wine you had. I’m just kidding along the traffic DWI lines.
😀
Sticking red against the black!
I do have a thing about red and black…..
Nice I like this.
Thanks!
That is what a poinsettia in my house would look like. Strike that. It wouldn’t be nearly so beautiful. 😀
Glad you like it, Cee!!
I have found that most things are stunning when bast their best. Or maybe it’s just me getting older…
You and me both!
Love this one Sue – my favorite part of the composition is the leaves on the table next to the vase. Striking shot.
Thanks, Tina….in a sense it was all about the leaves on the table….
as is your wonderful eye!
My eyes are indeed past their very best, glad they remain stunning, Hannah!
I think the photo is stunning!
Thank you, Anna!
This is almost like a Christmas dying… was the Grinch involved?
Not to my knowledge!!
Possibly all leaves dropped by now Sue …. and whether we like them or not , they ARE a striking *Christmas plants . Very nicely composed ! Also love the embroidered cloth …
Three leaves still clinging on, Poppy! And I love my cloth, embroidered by one of my great aunts many years ago……
I was going to ask the same thing Jude asked in her first question. FYI, I wouldn’t have binned them either. Your photo is striking! I love the rich red tone.
Thanks, Paula! Red against black is always striking, I think
Strikingly beautiful, the red against the black, falling leaves around the vase, this is stunning. I am so sorry I have missed so many of your beautiful photos Sue…I will try do better next year. Always a pleaure to visit you. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and see you soon! 🙂
Thanks for your fulsome praise, Sherri! Wishing you and yours a lovely Christmas, and very best wishes for 2017 💕
I love your photography Sue! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, thank you for your lovely message and a very Happy New Year to you…I hope 2017 brings you wonderful things ❤
Many thanks, Sherri! I had a lovely Christmas thanks. I hope you had a good Christmas, and here’s wishing you all the best for 2017
So glad Sue! I did thanks,so lovely…here’s to a great year ahead for us both 🙂
I’ll raise a glass to that!
Cheers Sue! 🙂 xx
Cheers!
