Or maybe you don't need to! Maybe you can still enjoy these in reality!
They were in a display at a store last October,
begging to have their picture taken!
As I was preparing this shot, I found a tiny reflection, too.
Do you see it?
And just because I haven't participated in a while, this is also for
Good week to everyone!

Colorful flowers are always beautiful, but these look great in B&W! The only place I'll be seeing these is in the floral shops --it's going to be a long time till Spring comes. have a lovely weekend. Mickie :)
Yes, reflection in water!
It is so unusually mild here that my geraniums and snapdragons are blooming on the windowsills.
Think I found the reflection, but maybe not. Still Mums lend themselves to begging for attention!
Love it. Found it too. I'm just glad we live in a tropical island so we have flowers blooming year round ;-)
Yes, I remember....not so long ago we were seeing these in all of their glory. Now we are awaiting our first snow of the year. Lovely shot. genie
I like this surprisingly much - surprisingly because one would expect colour to be THE thing here . . . but I'm not terribly struck on chrysanthemums so their shapes and nearnesses and farnesses make this (for me) a very attractive photo.
Just lovely!
Good morning Dimple.
Beautiful picture you show as always.
Wishing you a good weekend.
Hugs Hanne Bente ♥
I love B&W photos. have a nice day!
These are beautiful whether in black and white or in colour.
I love the smell of chrysanthemums too.

Nuts in May
I live in a warm climate, so we have all sorts of flowers blooming here all year round.
It's always a delight to see them in the garden and pots. Of course, only in your pictures do I have the opportunity to see them in B/W color.
I've spotted the tiny reflection and enjoyed having a look at it. Thank you.
they're lovely
Stunning flowers! And the monochrome enhances their shapely design!
I wouldn't have seen that reflection if you hadn't pointed it out! I love chrysanthemums, they say 'autumn' to me.
These flowers are lovely, real or not. Flora of wax can be as pretty and arranged as beautifully as possible - our sense of beauty is keyed to the look and style of the arrangement - which is nice here!
Your B&W sense is right on target Dimple. This is a marvelous photo.
A drop of water on a flower petal makes a lovely (although tiny) reflection!

“Oh, the one that got away!”
Why are you so uptight, folks?
Can’t you take light’s little jokes?

Lovely, Dimple. I've been having eye trouble lately, and don't yet know what's causing it, so I can really relate to your header. I've read it before, of course, but today I read it again.
I saw flowers blooming on the west coast of BC, Washington and Oregon recently, but there sure aren't any here in Alberta.
As for the reflection you mentioned, i seem to see some round dots on one petal of the top flower. They look like very small berries. Could that be a reflection or are my sore, blurry eyes imagining things?

I'm not sure I see the reflection, but the shadows are quite nice. Amazing how beautiful flowers can be even in B&W! Lovely!
HOw lovely!
My Shadow. Thank you for supporting the new team of the Shadow Shot. Happy Holidays!
Very lovely...:-)
Hi Louise... this is such a lovely black and white picture of chrysanthemums! Your pictures are always a delight to my heart... oh so sorry I couldn't spot where the reflection is... my eye isn't trained, but maybe you can tell me where it is?
Have a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones, dear blog friend.
Love
Lidia
Hi, I'm back. I was right about the reflection... saw it, but just wasn't sure.
Thanks for dropping by my blog and telling me where it was.
Just wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas. Mickie:)
