Where have all the flowers gone?
Flowers of days past bearing the weight of newly fallen snows. Beauty then and beauty again as the seasons pass, we only need to embrace it.

“Where have all the flowers gone, long time passing?
Where have all the flowers gone, long time ago?
Where have all the flowers gone?
Young girls have picked them everyone.
Oh, when will they ever learn.”
– Pete Seeger –

  1. I don’t know what it says about me when I say I find them more beautiful like this!

  2. Great details, love the color and bokeh. we are getting snow here in Columbus now, expecting 2-4 inches from it.

    I notice that your blog is not remembering who I am. Each time I want to comment it asks for my name, email and website. Is there something I need to do? On your previous theme it did not ask me.

    • Monte, thanks.

      I believe normally that type of form information is stored on each users machine as a browser cookie. I don’t know of anything that has to be set here to make it work. It works okay for me but now I’m curious if others are experiencing the same thing? I’ll do a little research.

  3. This is the only WordPress theme I visit that does not remember who I am. I think you and Mark have basically the same theme, his will remember me. I’ll look at the options in my WordPress settings.

    • Monte, actually Mark and I don’t have the same theme any longer…they simply look similar. :-) The setting of comment cookies is a default function of WordPress and “shouldn’t” be a theme option. However, I’m currently checking if perhaps something in this theme is over-riding that ability. I’ll let you know what I find out. I’m glad you said something cause if this is the general case I want to correct it.

      Is anyone else having this same problem on this site?

    • Monte, what browser do you use…Safari, Firefox, Chrome?

        • Monte, the theme designers have confirmed that not remembering commenters data is a bug with this theme and a fix will be released next week. Thanks again for pointing this out — because you said something I reported it and they confirmed and fixed it.

  4. I’ve been forgotten too! I use Chrome.

    • Hi Steve, thanks for the info. I’ve got an issue logged with the theme designer. Hopefully it will soon be fixed.

  5. I am wild about this color combination anyway and your photograph makes the very most of it. The richness of the contrasting textures and lines make for an image I can lose myself in.

    To help with your poll, I am another who has to “re-register” each time I comment. My browser is IE.

    • Anita, thanks and yes this rich brown is very pleasing to me as well. As I was telling Steve above, I’ve got an issue logged with the theme designer about it not remembering commenting author information. Hopefully it will be fixed soon. Thanks for confirming it was happening with IE as well.

  6. For all commenters who have been “forgotten” by this blog…I’ve got an issued logged with the theme support forum. I’ve confirmed the WordPress comment cookies are being set in browsers and that it’s not a plugin conflict issue. Hopefully I’ll have a solution very soon!

    Just know you haven’t been forgotten by me! ;-)

  7. Flowers really have two lives, if you think about it, and I rather like the latter period. Your image gives at hand why I like the dried out flowers better, it’s the delicate brown tones. Our flowers have been mangled this winter, with the unusual amount of snow that we have had so far.

    • Ove, for certain there is something deeper and richer about the latter period of flowers. It may be my favorite period as well. Thanks.
