Petals and Pearls

This dried flower arrangement has probably been sitting in the conservatory for the last 12 years. So many things go unnoticed but when I was deciding what would be the subject of today's photo my eyes alighted on this and I thought how much I liked it. I decided to go for black and white as it would emphasise the different shapes and textures in the picture without the distraction of colour. I've added to the arrangement over the years with extra twigs here and there when I've been reluctant to throw it out and start again. I was pleasantly surprised to find no dust or spiders' webs worthy of mention!
I think it will be there for a good few years yet!
