The Earth Laughs In Flowers

               “I must have flowers, always, and always.” This is a quote by Claude Monet. It is the perfect way for me to introduce this week’s secondary theme. As I said, I have started a second game and therefore have two themes each week. While the lady bugs were interesting, I had fun looking for my secondary pictures. If you haven’t guessed, the theme was flowers. We decided against picking a specific kind of flower in order to make it more interesting. It would have been easy to find all roses, carnations, sunflowers, or lilies. There are zillions of pictures of flowers out there. I think this is, in part, because flowers can be used for so many things. You can find them in bouquets, arches, gardens, fields, and more. You could search for specific colors too. For example, if you search for images of blue flowers you will get hundreds of results. There are naturally blue flowers, painted flowers, dyed flowers, and even genetically altered flowers. Anyway, you get the point. There is a great deal of options with this theme. This was a good thing because there were so many to choose from. However, that was also a bad thing for me. I am horrible at making decisions and had such a hard time narrowing it down to the ones I liked best. I didn’t want to combine them with the app on my phone again because I don’t want to abuse that. Also, with the original game I can often send different pictures to each person and use three a day whereas this one is just me and my aunt and I can only use one each day. So I decided that this dilemma has a very simple solution. I narrowed my selection down to more than I needed, albeit a more manageable number. Then I picked my favorite based on my mood each day. I don’t want to not use the others though, so that is where this blog comes in. I realized that I can still share them by posting the extras on here. And so, I shall now unload my unused flower pictures that I love yet couldn’t share otherwise. Enjoy, and stay tuned yet again for next week’s themes.

 

I would like to note that the title of the post is a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson and to my knowledge the first picture is not a work by Monet and is no way meant to connect to the opening quote by the artist.
