I was getting slightly worried today that I wouldn’t be able think of anything to photograph for today’s project 365.
However, I walked into my flat, saw this lovely tulip coming to the end of its life and immediately started shooting. (I’m still sitting in my coat and hat as I write this.)
366 Days of Photos 
Wow. For being spur of the moment, this is truly spectacular!
🙂
beautiful!
The flash of inspiration is usally the best and more original! Great job!
How lovely. My partner is now doing a photo-a-day project she’s publishing on my blog. It’s been fun so far.
And congats on Freshly Pressed!

lovely photograph
Very nice indeed. I do like flowers and greenery when they are ‘going over’ – lovely shot.
I too started a photo a day challenge, just because I never ‘finish’ anything!! I’ve really enjoyed it so far and it’s really making me think…which can’t be a bad thing!! Love your photo today.
Beautiful shot! Flowers are my favorite!
Good subject, tulip on its last legs, it’s a very good photo. Iam no photo genius, however it’s what you saw through your eye’s, so its what we see. Good stuff.
Gave me chills. Wow. Beautiful!
Very calming pic! Thank you!
It’s a beautiful photo!!
Absolutely stunning!!!! Great work !!
So beautiful. I’m also worried I’m going to run out of ideas.
Beautiful shot!
Wow. For being spur of the moment, this is truly spectacular!

Beautiful Photograph!
Beautiful colours and textures.
Very impressive shot, I love it!
Really nice photo!!!
That’s what is called-inspiration. Just catch it before it’s gone and it doesn’t matter are you in hat and coat or just in your pyjama. 🙂 Incredible photo of tulip, my favorite flower by the way.
Wish you a lot of inspiration for future photos 🙂
Beautiful! 🙂 Life’s all about appreciating the little things. x
I’m obsessed with withering flowers…ah…this one is definitely making it in to my collection!
That is so beautiful, it would even work as a print! Looking forward to checking out more of your photos!
This is amazing! How did you make such amazing lighting?
I have a WordPress photography blog as well, I’m glad we share a love for photos! 🙂
Great picture!! Really lovely!
Simple and beautiful. The circle of life!

Your enthusiasim paid off. Nice shot.
Lovely detail and colour.
Truly God’s beauty abounds amidst us…all we have to do, is take time to see.
Oh, my. Absolutely beautiful! It’s amazing how these things present themselves to us!
what a gorgeous photo!
gotta love how inspiration just finds you! great pic!
Wow. It’s a beautiful photo. I am also often worried that I run out of my writing ideas. However, there are always things to write about like your photo ideas.
Wow. Your pictures are so good it makes me feel bad about mine.
It’s beautiful.
The fact that you caught the tulip in the midst of withering poses another side of its beauty; and that’s its death. Actually, it’s a brilliant shot.

Gorgeously captured!

Gorgeous photo! I did 365 days of photos last year (they’re on my blog) and it was so fun taking an image for each day. And I love your header!
Nice, I kinda like the flower. Reminds me of Cataliya… and Columbiana the movie. Nice one.
Beautiful!
That is really beautiful. Thanks.
Can I ask with what lens you shot this? Also, are you using a light box of some kind?
Great shot.
Thanks, I shot it using my Nikon 18-200mm. All I used was my flash gun – no lightbox required!
Great image….thank you!

wonderful images!
Sorry to bother with a technical question … but i’m new to WordPress. How do you get the comments to show at the bottom of each post? In my blog http://www.pairodox.wordpress.com a user has to click the post to see comments – they seem kinda hidden. I want my comments to show like yours … with the post … right up front, without having to search for them deeply embedded. I hope you have time to reply – I’ve search all over and can’t find an answer to what seems like a simple question.
And, also – I’m also a bit of a photographer and have always wanted to do the 365 days – thing. Good for you.
I think it depends on the theme you have chosen for your blog.
Amazing capture and great idea to photo it for your project 🙂
it’s almost as pretty as me.
Spectacular 🙂
Great picture! I’m doing my own 366 project too, but I’m restricting mine to my iPhone camera. There have been a couple of days when I’ve realized that I hadn’t taken a picture all day and had to almost scramble for one, it will be interesting to see how it all turns out at the end of the year. Good luck with your project!
Love your post and love the header of your blog even more, brightened me up:)
Thanks 🙂 The header was designed by my good friend, Lou Andrews: http://cargocollective.com/louandrews
That is an amazing photo! Good luck on your 365 day project 🙂
Flowers do have a certain beauty at all the stages of their existence.
Gorgeous!! I think I found my doppleganager — Not only is my name Claire, but I am doing the same project, incorporating photos, inspiration and opinion.
I look forward to seeing more, and you can follow me at http://aphotoaday2012.com/.
Keep in touch!
Hey Doppleganger! I’ll keep in touch – great blog too!
La pureté, superbe photo !!
Great pic! Tulips are some of my most favorite flowers. I love the transparency of the petals! What a wonderful reminder that Spring is on it’s way…Looking forward to more pictures. Hope you have an awesome rest of 2012!
Wow, that’s absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing! Have a great day! 🙂
great picture, love it 🙂

This is an amazing concept. Love it!

wonderful closeup shot.
Wow, very unusual with just two leaves left. Well spotted, great perspective from aside.
I came to realize that the meaning of the following words while viewing this photograph:
“Images can phrase beautiful words in a way that probably not much people could ever do!”
I really do think that the above-mentioned quote applies perfectly to your picture!
So true indeed!
Thank you so much!
beautiful
A true and wonderful beauty!
Beauty and a gem
There is beauty even in endings … and you captured it!
Great shot! I’ll definitely check back for more!

I admire you for going along with the challenge too. Good on you.

This is simply gorgeous! It truly highlights the beauty in the simple things! Well done! 🙂
Wow, that’s a beautiful photo! I love that it isn’t a perfect flower, I think the imperfections of it being on its last petals makes it even more unique.

Wow! This pic beautifully symbolizes that there is still beauty in what most people would deem as “past its prime”. What type of camera do you use?
Congrats on this beautiful picture and for being Freshly Pressed!

Awesome!…
Looks so great.
-the way it was taken, it’s color ,the brightness, the angle – it’s perfect!
well, I’m new to blogging and to find a post like this inspires me to continue with my new found hobby – blogging! 😀
THANKS
Your photos are amazing. They make me think of another blog I’ve just discovered, http://ellalevyart.tumblr.com/ . Y’all make me realize two things: how much beauty I overlook and how wonderful it is that there are people who “see” it and share it! I see other “beauty”…in kids and families. See http://www.kathleensblog.com ? Meanwhile, keep inspiring us! 🙂 KF
very beautiful!
wonderful pics, love them.
Awesome! Love the slight washout colors.
very lovely pic. thanks for sharing

It’s sad to me when flowers are on the way out, but there’s a beauty to them as well (which you captured!). Good luck on the rest of the year and congratulations on being “Pressed.”
An amazing pictorial story of life and death (renewal). Your intuitions led you well!
Beautiful shot. Just stunning – thanks
