Leftover lilac blossoms that drowned and bleached in the bottom of the jar the bouquet was kept in.

I have been trying to be active on Instagram lately and recently started following a profile called Lovely Dead Crap, which I adore. It’s mostly artistic photos of dried flowers and outdoor plants that have gone by in autumn. As soon as I found the page I thought of this photo.

I took this in June of 2013 because I found myself drawn to the strangeness of the flowers that had fallen into the water. There was something beautiful and sad to me about them. I took the photo and played with it in Lightroom but always felt strange about sharing it so I’ve just been sitting on it all this time.

I figured now is a good time to do something with it. Maybe someone else will like it too.
