Snuggling
Posted by Marion (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 7 August 2008 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
I know that flowers don't really snuggle, but these two looked as though they were.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
