One of the girls at work had brought in some roses from her garden and was about to throw them out because they were wilting. I asked her if I could take them home. Everyone looked at me like I was a bit strange (they could be right) and I brought them home and laid them on a piece of black cardboard and snapped away. I thought this turned out pretty good.
I appreciate and treasure each and every one of you that visits my site every day and leaves a comment. I learn so much just from viewing your pictures in return.
A delicate and faded image which you have photographed so well!

This is a beautiful composition of these roses, Marion! Even on their last legs they are beautiful, a great idea!

great composition... I always take the dead roses home i take the petals off and let them dry and keep them... they show the beautiful colors that were....

I hope I'm half that pretty when I'm on my "last legs", don't you? *smile*
PS: I have an antique Rose Bowl that was my paternal grandmothers, made just for keeping rose petals!
