Valentine’s Day, Sexual Flowers, Etc.

I hope everyone had a nice Valentine’s Day.

I’m not a huge Valentine’s Day fan.

Don’t get me wrong,

It’s nice to be acknowledged by people who love me.

Valentine’s Day just seems so forced.

It’s “the” day when that special someone has to say they love you, right?

It always means more when a declaration of love isn’t planned.

Briefcase was in town yesterday, but he was at work before I even woke up in the morning.

Later, he flew out of town for a meeting.  He stopped home, briefly, for a rushed dinner before his flight.

I woke up Valentine’s morning to flowers he left for me.

Flowers are always nice, especially for us photographer types.

My romantic contribution to the day was providing chocolate dipped strawberries for dessert.

During the afternoon, I decided I’d take a few macro shots of the flowers I received.

It wasn’t until I got the photos onto my laptop, that I noticed this one -

The most sexual macro shot of a flower ever?

Is it just me?

Or is this an extremely phallic flower?

I’m embarrassed to even publish the photo.

It is just a flower, though.

I absolutely did not photoshop the flower to make it look more johnson-like.

It was quite dick-ish enough, all on its own.

Do you think my husband was trying to drop a not-so-subtle hint?

    Looking at the flower makes me think you might be the next Georgia O’Keefe!
