It seems of late I have either been photographing people or flowers. I wanted to do something unique this week so I took inspiration from a site I follow on Instagram called “@LovelyDeadCrap”. I didn’t just go out to photograph flowers, which are bountiful in my yard right now, I wanted to find something unique to post. Here you find the pentagram center of a rose that has lost it’s petals. Did you know that is what the subject in the image was?
Next I needed to come up with a title. I couldn’t just call it two stars so I began with my language of flowers resources and found that the pink rose represents thankfulness. That just didn’t seem enough. So I went on search for the meaning of stars. I found a great website that reviews the history of stars, which you can find HERE. I read about the meaning of stars and was fascinated with the history and meanings. With that I decided that…..
I’d given you a start…so let’s see what you come up with for a title. Ready, set, go and comment below….

Coney Island, the end of one long hot day, the beginning of one long warm night.
Another trip down Paris memory lane. Rue Chanoinesse is a welcome respite from the tourist-packed Notre Dame, only a block away but feeling worlds apart. We stumbled upon it after enjoying some time in a cafe overlooking the Pont Saint-Louis and Notre Dame.
