I know that flowers don't really snuggle, but these two looked as though they were.
I am on holidays from August 17th until August 26th ....whee!! Although I will be home for the first few days, on the 21st we are heading to the States mainly to go to Tacoma Washington to attend the Gaither Gospel Homecoming Tour on Friday the 22nd. We are in for a real treat. We will also be tourists for a while and hopefully will come back with lots of good pictures. Anyhow, all of that to say I probably won't be visiting your wonderful sites for at least the 21st - 26th, but I promise I will catch up. I will prepost.
j'aime ces couleurs !

They do...! But I didn't notice until I read the caption. They look great against the dark background.

@Observing: Thanks Mike. Funny what lighting and cameras do. The background is actually white and beige, but the shadows were just right for that picture making the background look dark.
Beautiful color against that background, Marion! Love the title!

Really, they don't snuggle? well, I don't know about that, the proof is in the pudding, and it looks to me like they're cuddling! ;) Love this...

If flowers can snuggle, then you've found them at it Marion. This is a beautiful thought and a beautiful picture. Thank you also, for the very nice comments you left at my place today. Bella and I are blessed.

@Viewfinder: Thank you and you are so welcome.
A beautiful study. Love the imperfections in the flowers.

Who says flowers don't snuggle? I like to think all of Nature's being can love and snuggle. Beautiful shot.

Sweet shot, Marion ... they were made for each other!

@Ron: Thanks Ron, what a sweet comment.
Wonderful, Marion! Love the title too.

This is wonderful, Marion ... and I just worked on one I took at my neighbors. I do love these flowers and have never grown them myself. Susan has them, though.
PS: Sorry I didn't get to AM3 yesterday.

@Judy: Thanks Judy. It's OK, but when you aren't here then I worry about you, and when I worry I decide to pray instead. So lots of extra prayers for you the last couple of days. Take care and have a wonderful weekend. xo
Your flower shots are brilliant Marion - I love the lighting on this one.

Even though this flower is a bit on the ragged side, the beauty shows through. I like how you have presented this image and the meaning. Perfection means something entirely different...wonderful.
