Blossoms for Monochrome Monday
The blossoms of a beautiful garden are a spectacular delight of shape and color. Did you get that part where I meant to stress the color part. The colors and hues are so stunning! Usually that is what draws us in and brightens our day.
However, with the state of the world today where we see sadness on top of sadness, it almost makes the beauty of the blooms too much to take in.
So not for any one particular event, but just for the overall gloom of the days we find ourselves, I decided to share some blooms in mono.
BTW thanks to @dswigle for the Always a Flower community.
Still the blooms are pretty, no? Yet they are undisputedly muted, much like life as we knw it under this constant threat.

These are beautiful! And I agree, the rich tones are super interesting. Flowers have a different sort of beauty in monochrome. The wilted rose is especially poignant.
The mono is brilliant here, so much more significant in this state. I am all about the color, but, the first and last shot are so very powerful.
I do not see the gloom, just the absence of hues.

The gloom is in the air over this country much like the smoke over the west coast.
I get what you are saying, but, things in your neck of the woods seem to have lightened up and the sun is shining once again.
Hmmm that is news to me. This is no Camelot, sadly.
I'm pretty sure I didn't mean that in the weather/not so great weather. Oh, no!!! We are at the point of discussing the weather. Why not?
How is the weather up there in Michigan, Paul? I even felt silly writing it. :))
I am not talking about the weather in my comment at all 😑
I wasn't either. :/
