Everything that lives fades, including us, but there is often beauty in that fading and I saw it in my yellow tulips as they drooped and dropped their yellow heads in their vase on my desk.
I allowed myself the indulgence of enjoying them a last time. Such fleeting beauty caught and released in a cold white bath was a contrast I enjoyed in a strangely visceral way.
Don’t forget to click on the lips to see who else is being sinful this week
Lovely. Beautiful. If I were a smutty man, I’d say that you seem to have tulips caught in your two lips. But I’m not so I’m glad I didn’t say it…
Probably best ?
My daffodils I bought the other day are wilting but they don’t do it in quite the same beautiful way that tulips do. I love what you have done here, the little yellow petals laying between your legs is so clever

I adore tulips. The promise of spring in a vase ?
Eye, this is absolutely stunning. I love it x
Thank you x
Such imagination you have Eye to use the faded tulips in this way. A beautifully conceived photo executed to perfection. CP xx
Thank you x
Such a glorious picture – the stark white of the bath, the pale yellow and green against your flesh. ☺️ X
I think it might be my new favourite ?
Great idea and the effect is wonderful x
I love the bath shot but I also find the shot with your feet very engaging. There is a mystery in it.
What can I say? Cracking petals… 😉

Poignant and beautiful x
Beauty never fades, it just changes. I’m glad you shared your indulgence.
I love the way that flowers look against soft skin – always a beautiful combination. I guess the good thing about humans is that as we age, our parts don’t generally fall off. 😉
Simply stunning !!!
