Little did you realize that each and every flower has a symbolic meaning. I rediscovered this recently via Conscientious and a link to an extensive list of the symbolic meaning of flowers. I recall as a teen that roses had different meanings depending on the colour, and girls always wanted red ones because they represented love, while yellow represented friendship.
I’ve always been more of a tulip loving girl, with a passion for dahlias and for poppies when they’re in season. At the moment the poppies are out in full force and I’ve been celebrating their yearly appearance by taking a million photos.
And what you might ask, is the symbolic meaning of poppies? Imagination, dreaminess, and eternal sleep.

These are the concluding shots to my week of shooting polaroid. I took eleven shots over the course of the week, using up the last shot in one pack of film and going through a second full pack. I now have four left out the ten my sister Kathryn sent me as a belated birthday present last August.
Friday: A Gathering of Tulips
Friday: Maggie Keeps an Eye on the Neighbourhood
Thursday: As the Sky Burst into Flower
I really enjoyed shooting with the polaroid this week because despite shooting mostly digital lately I’m still a film camera girl at heart.

I’ve been participating in ‘roid week and this is what I’ve shot so far:
Wednesday: Bicycle wheel and Tiny Flowers
Tuesday: A Gift of Lilacs
Monday: Birdhouse
It’s nice to have a simple little project to work on and shoot for while I’m focusing on the less creative side of my art.
