So much for the prompt.
Anyway, I'm very tired tonight so I'll share a picture and a thought. The theme for September is Art, how it inspires you and how you bring it into your life. This is the definition of Art I found on Wikipedia: Art is the product or process of deliberately arranging symbolic elements in a way that influences and affects the senses, emotions, and/or intellect. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music, literature, film, photography, sculpture and paintings.
Based on that I decided that my flowers could qualify as Art. Well at least art with a small a. I love flowers and I buy them fairly often so that most of the time I have flowers in my home. I don't know that they are a symbolic element but I deliberately put them in a vase and they affect my senses and emotions. I'm always much happier when I have flowers. It makes me smile to look at them. I stopped at the grocery store after work and bought these so I'll share them in the hope that they make other people smile also!

They are beautiful! I love the arrangement. My cats eat my flowers. I usually have to put them up high and then I don't enjoy them.
Well, I think they are art..both the picture and reality.
They are a beautiful color, so delicately tinted and they are artfully arranged. A skill that is lost to me.
They do effect the senses both seeing the picture, and I suspect the scent in your home.
Great picture. I hear Rachmaninov.
Peruby: I'm always worried my cats will eat the flowers but they seem to have no interest in them. That's too bad that yours do - it is difficult to enjoy looking at them if you have to keep them away from the cats!
Carol: I was looking at different bunches and picked this one because of the color! And they do smell - not really strong but enough to make me happy. It seems like the ones in they sell in the store only smell strong if they're expensive!
