I never used to care much for flowers, didn’t relate to the passion so many people have for them, for bountiful bouquets, for how they seem to lift people’s days like cloudless weather.
Reading this again I realise that I also opened one of my letters with Georgia’s quote. I like and included the next sentence too “When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else”.
Ah yes that’s a lovely one, I’ll have to read that post of yours. I also enjoy the quote that shows her gloominess a bit more: ‘I hate flowers - I paint them because they’re cheaper than models and they don’t move.’ 😄

Photographers are often drawn to flowers after anyone else would have thrown them out! I enjoyed reading this, thank you.
Haha yes this is very true. Glad you enjoyed it Michela!
