Flowers and candles

I went out for errands for work today. Not feeling very well on top of that, migraine pushing through my back and my head. I just could not find anything to photograph, a bit like having no appetite when someone is ill. My eyes were not hungry.

After a poetry gathering with friends online, a hot bath and two advils, I am feeling better but homebound, like those flowers and candles which comfort me.

I have photographed them a couple of times before in darkness, and I always enjoy them. They remind me of the Dutch paintings of flowers and still life from the early 17th century.
