Have you ever met someone who seems to be overly positive about everything? Don’t you every wonder if that ability to be so positive all the time is a personality strength or some sort of delusion? I admire them but inwardly I’m also a bit suspicious — those who always seem to be the “flowers.”
I admit wanting to peer behind their “mask.” To find out what makes them work the way they do. To see if the positivity is true or not.
Now, I can be the “flowers” and I often try to be the “flowers” but there’s also stones in my personal “garden” — lots of stones! :-)
These image were taken along the coast a few weeks ago…among a stone breakwater.
Very fine flower series. These are beautiful blossom shots with very good appeal. Nice job of shooting.
Nice shots Earl. I try to have a lot of blooms in my life, but I keep having to weed the garden!
When I see the flowers growing among the stones I think of their strength and will to survive.
Stones or flowers – they each have their own beauty.
I like these photos. The colors of the flowers and grass compliment the stones very nicely.
I just love the contrasts between flowers and stone, soft and hard, flexible and rigid, colorful and drab. Very nice series, Earl.
I like how nature creates these scenes and am in awe of the power in both the flowers and the rocks. I, also have the times when I’m a flower and when I’m struggling between the rocks. I’m enjoying your thoughts over the past few posts. Keep it up!
@All – Thanks for the comments everyone — I always appreciate them. :-)
I like the commentary along with these images Earl. However, I for one think rocks are pretty cool on their own. :-)
I have always liked photos of flowers and stone – they play off of each other on so many different themes.
Thanks, Mark…glad you enjoy the commentary…and the rocks. :-)
