15 October
morning sunlight through the kitchen window
~ ~ ~
i have brought the geraniums indoors to overwinter
they are set up all over the house and litter the floors with their petals
it is a small price to pay for such cheerful and colorful beauty
we shall have few flowers till spring
so i am loathe to sweep them up
but let them stay as they lay
all tiny droplets of bright beauty
on the wooden floor
in the sunlight
So lovely to have them:)
ReplyDeletesmiles...i like the thought of letting so petals linger so that warmer days and their fragrance can carry you a bit further....
ReplyDeleteOh I love this! So beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! I've been raising Monarch's since spring, on my dining room table. So I know what you speak in terms of the mess and the small price to pay! ;)
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful!

Very pretty! I never bring mine in, they don't make it because the light is not good enough. Good luck with yours this winter!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I love how soft and muted this image looks. Lovely, friend!
ReplyDeleteI love the morning light shining through, wonderful edit.
ReplyDeleteWonderful sentiment.. I am inspired to welcome petals on the floor over the long winter, too. :)
ReplyDeletelove the gauzy linen effect...savor those last blooms...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. Looks like a wonderful watercolor painting.
ReplyDeleteThe texture you added here has enhanced the shot!
ReplyDeleteLovely!
The texture edit draws out the beauty of these flowers. This is a lovey photo!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely photo and edit of the Geraniums. I will miss mine but bringing them inside with cats around who eat plants is a big no-no.
ReplyDeleteI never tried to save my geraniums over the winter. I may try this winter as my garage has a window and they would get light and some watering from time to time.
ReplyDeleteI like your attitude about the fallen petals. :)
ReplyDeleteBEautiful. We brought in rosemary, I know it will be fine. We'll see what comes of the parsley experiment.
ReplyDeleteIt has been so long since I have grown geraniums - I need to remember them next year. Your photo is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh I didn't even know you could bring them in and I love the idea of the petals as they are..but then my cats eat everything... I like the texture you used too..Thank you for linking into this week's Nature Notes...Michelle
ReplyDeleteBeautiful edit of the geraniums.
