So I ended up skipping day five of the Foto School challenge yesterday. It was my daughter’s birthday and I just couldn’t bear to make her wait around while I tried to set up a photo set for the day. So anyhow I’m back on track today and am excited to share these beautiful flowers that my daughter bought me on her birthday (yesterday). She surprised me by taking up the same tradition that I have for giving my Mom flowers on my birthday. So incredibly sweet (I might have cried a little bit)!

These pretty blooms are called Alstroemeria. They actually remind me a lot of lilies…but they don’t make me sneeze in the same way (thank goodness). I decided that it would be interesting to first show them in their usual form, and then take a shot of them in their disassembled “anatomical” state. I really love the second shot, and am excited to have nearly completed one week of Foto school. Woohoo!

If you’d like you can also find all my images in individual and diptych form for this month-long class challenge over in my flickr album. | Souvenir Foto School is offered by Besotted Brand.
