Well, my flowers of nearly 3 weeks ago really have finally given up the ghost. It was a gloomy day, and I was using a slow shutter speed, high ISO and wide aperture, so not a good image:

Quirky thoughts on the ultimate question of life, the universe and popcorn.
A bit of this and that
But still lovely in their faded gentility.
Ah, thanks!
Desperate, Sue! They’re shouting ‘bin me’ 🙂 🙂
They went yesterday
🙂 🙂
Happy now!
Ecstatic! Cheers 🙂 🙂
😊
Three weeks is good going. Nobody does this stuff better than you, Sue. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete!
Faded, but lovely, Sue.
Thanks, Patti!
Margaret’s comment seemed so poetic. Wish I had those kind of words in me. Beautiful 😀
She’s good with words, Cee!
Getting three weeks out of a bouquet is quite an accomplishment! 🙂

Doesn’t happen too often!
They continue to fascinate. There is value in these long series of the same bouquet. Thanks.
Hoping the next one lasts a little while!
Wow – I LOVE this image – the white backdrop and colors and mood
I did not see them three weeks ago – but the dried up ones are quite pretty
This is my favourite one, Yvette – https://suejudd.com/2021/01/07/a-nod-to-the-dutch-masters/
I checked it out and that sure was beautiful – and can see why it was your fav – with the light variation and darker backdrop
I am still a little partial to this photo of the bouquet that keeps on giving (ha) but might be because I fell in love with this one first
And also could relate to nkt have seen very many flowers this month- well Su Leslie has posted some and there is always free flooded of the day – but I have not had a high dose of flowers (not always a bad thing to stir up appreciation) but I just made my next post a “Monday blooms” post to keep the flower vibe alive in my winter neck of the woods –
Oh and I will be back to see any other picks of this bouquet
Ah, there are no more images of this bouquet- new one arrives tomorrow!
I meant any past ones???
Oh, one or two
The form and colours of faded flowers are beautiful and we definitely get a sense of that from your photo. I, similarly, want to capture the fading and fleeting beauty and up until recently chose, like you, slow shutter speed, wide aperture and high ISO. Then somebody posted online a brief class on low-lighting photography and recommended f/11, ISO 100, but an extremely slow speed 4 seconds using the self-timer with camera on tripod. I had a go and will definitely being doing some more later this year when my garden starts to produce flowers again. I’d be interested to see what you think. (Forgive me if maybe you’ve posted some in the past {grandmothers and egg}, but I am a recentish newbie to your Blog)
Thanks for this, Agnes! No, I haven’t done this, as my balance isn’t good and I can be clumsy, so tripod and I are often not good companions these days!! I shall be interested to see your results
I know what you mean about tripods. I have nearly smashed my camera more than once. I tend now to use books and a cushion!
Oh, OK!!
