We had some friends around for dinner last night and at the last moment, because the fire grate looks so empty without a fire, I thought to take the bare look off it with some flowers,
I shoved some Fennel, and some white hydrangeas along with some other stuff in the garden into a black jug and then sat back and thought it looked nice enough to photograph, so I did.
The effect reminds me of the flower paintings of Giovanna Garzoni.
( I think my shot needs a little more work though!)
