In the five minutes of walking they collected:
Daisies
Dandelions
Clover
Grass seed heads
Individually they were pretty, but together they were Enchantingly Elaborate.
I held these flowers knowing they'd wilt and become shadows of their former self in mere hours. I felt sadness is not being able to keep their beauty alive.
Had I forgotten that I don't live in the 1970s of my own childhood?
I had momentarily jettisoned out of the electronic age and ignored the camera in my pocket (go on friends, laugh at the rarity of this).
As I snapped a few photos of the posie I realised it was now everlasting, to remain forever as fresh and beautiful as when the girls selected them.
Ethereal. Elegant. Everlasting.
Enjoy.

Wonderful! So sweet of the girls to gather them, and I'm so glad you remembered that camera and shared them with us.
it's wonderful just to see photos, they certainly will last awhile.
have a sweet day.
Hello.
They are gorgeous. I'd say they are definitely Emotions Of Poetry. (smile).
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, I just love the joy of creation
They are THE most gorgeous girls
Isn't it great to capture these small memories forever
Nice link Andy; and oh so true :)
Love that! I've had my grandkids all week long and have set the camera aside...I can either enjoy them or take pictures, but not both...and the photos are never as good as they are!
Quite a colorful collection of elegance you have there! Your photos are wonderful.
Good one, LL ~~ Reminds me of when I would bring my mom home from school the dandilions and wild violets I had picked.
When I saw they them would be for Mom.
