The wife left these 2 flowers on my office floor as possible fodder for my decay series.

They have indeed been pictured and added to that series. However, I was struck by the simple and pure grace of the stems and wanted to picture just that essence and character. So, I pictured them in as simple and pure a manner as possible.

Just as the referent is simple, the connoted is as well - nothing "heavy", just the beauty of nature with a little bit about the nature of beauty thrown in for consideration.

I've got a typeface on my mac that is identical to the leftside image! I believe it's in the "Type embellishments ONE Let" family.
