these are actually the skeletal remains of a strange flower that I can only describe as bell pepper looking in shape and red in colour about 2.5cm long. A different view of the same flowers is offered in GENTLE KISS OF RED I think they were chewed on and picked clean by slugs photo taken using the remaining daylight of the evening with the flower skeletons placed on a white glass bowl infront of a venitian blind on a window sill. for me the beauty is still there ..... EDIT ... found out what they are ...CHINESE LANTERN - PHYSALIS ALKEKENGI ... cool 8)

Actually I disagree with your title. These are still beautiful! Great composition, placement, lighting, clarity of focus, and color in your photo of them. Even that shadows are awesome. Kudos. :)

Terrific macro. I like the pods and their reflection on the plate. Everything about this is perfect.

Another superb shot with very deep meaning. When death comes, all that remains is an empty shell. Without the soul, the body is just window dressing. Magnificent image! Kudos

Of all the trees in England, Her sweet three corners in, Only the Ash, the bonnie Ash Burns fierce while it is green. Of all the trees in England, From sea to sea again, The Willow loveliest stoops her boughs Beneath the driving rain. Of all the trees in England, Past frankincense and myrrh, There's none for smell, of bloom and smoke, Like Lime and Juniper. Of all the trees in England, Oak, Elder, Elm and Thorn, The Yew alone burns lamps of peace For them that lie forlorn.

Very lovely and artistic composition! I love the shadows cast by the pods onto the plate, which gives a delicate lacy effect. Magnificent work! Lori

I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings: And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill. That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes. We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not. Yet so the universe was wrought . Thought is another name for fate. Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.
