noticing

Andy gave me a lovely bouquet of flowers for Valentine's Day. One stem was broken and I brought it down to the studio table to put in the tiniest budvase I have.

A few days later I could see that the blossoms were at their last best moment. Each stem inspired a new view.

Elements of my random photoshoot: ironing board, basket, papers, natural light, iPhone and Instagram.

And the most exquisite flowers asking only to be admired. Fully taken in, before leaving.
