It takes one voice

I have to say I almost wept when I saw Amanda's photos today. She's gone back to using her Nikon and all I could see was the purity of her images. This beauty of her work defines her as a photographer. I think that was what I was missing with the Instagram shots - anyone could have done them. Heck, even I could have done them.

I realised, in looking at the images, that we all interpret what we see, smell, touch, feel and hear in our own way. No two experiences are the same. What we come to believe, and how we form our beliefs, is through these experiences. 

I want more out of life. I want to see the beauty in the flowers we bring in, even if I can't be in the shop. I want to touch the screen as if doing so I would be able to feel their velvety softness. I want the images to make me want to lean forward and smell their individual fragrance. Not all flowers do that to me but the ones we bring in do. 

But don't take my word for it, come in and experience for yourself our flowers. As always available in limited quantities just for you. xox 

I am heading off to Europe on tonight's flight and I promise you this - I shall be stopping to smell the flowers; actually, I might even Instagram a couple of them too!
