ECF: Compost!
Yes indeedy, you read the title of the post correctly - bet you don’t often think compost is beautiful huh? Well, back in early June when I visited Cathy before EPWM she sent me home with a lovely bunch of peonies. They lasted a good ten days or so and then they looked “done.” Chris was about to arrive so I was doing a last minute cleaning/straightening and took the vase and flowers out to the compost pile. I gave the vase a fling. There was just something about how all the peonies landed on the compost and the contrast of the pink of the still alive, but on their way out flowers against the brown of the compost. I *had* to run into the house to get the camera and take some shots. I took 56, believe it or not! And, I didn’t touch a flower/petal/blade of grass! These are some of my favorites…
The original flowers from Cathy were gorgeous and I’m sorry I didn’t get photos of them before they started their afterlife in the compost heap. But I guess this just proves SIL3’s theory that I’m definitely “goth on the inside.” :-)
Stop to see some beauty in the unusual subject this weekend and have a great one!
